So Shio, the Asian countries that MIGHT have been left out of the numbers that I provided links to, would have given the FPS game the lead for PC? So now Asian countries can attribute more FPS sales than the Western world? Because it would have to well over double what the PC sales in the western world contributed.

And about the famous pc legs. You are saying that the PC version of CoD4 has sold more in two years than Starcraft did over like 10, one of the most revered and loved pc games? So in 10 years CoD4 will have 20 million sales? LOL. Dude you should just stop. I have not met many people who like making shit up as much as you do.

No damage control, my argument was just very strong.

He hates to think the xbox 360 has games

To get back on topic, there is an epic meltdown at N4G about this.

No, it's because he won't be able to pirate it on the pc

to shio, ps3 fanboys and all the whiners;
THIS IS ONLY A GAME AND NOT THE LAST SEXY WOMAN ON EARTH.

our planet won't implode, god will not piss on you, your mother will not abandon you and you won't have to have sex with Freddy Kruger if you won't play it.

I'd figure that Microsoft will use this game to entice people to upgrade to Windows 7. Creating a stir like this will make sure that the media focuses on this as an xbox 360 game and nothing else for the time being which is what they want.

Remember that this game was originally demoed on a quad core processor a few years ago to make a case for quad core pc gaming and to showcase DX10, then it disappeared for a while, now it's a x360 exclusive? Get the fuck out microsoft. I'm calling shenanigans on this whole thing.

Also, OP: How do you figure the PC version is shelved indefinitely?

The 360 has 3 cores with 6 dedicated hardware threads(1 of which is unusable bye devs I think).  Very similar from that perspective.  Also, the 360 GPU was designed with forward looking features such as tesselation and such.  Not much difference there.

They are probably going to be releasing a PC version in the future.  Just keeping it mum for a while most likely.

It will probably get a later port of the game on PC, kind of like how Bioshock PS3 came out a year after the 360 version.

If COD4 had a much stronger opening than Starcraft or a Sims game, it would show that COD4 could indeed reach 10 millions (or be somewhat near it) much faster. While the sales from asian countries still count, they're not much and I honestly don't know how non-blizzard PC games sell in Asia (though I rember that a Ys game on PC sold over 500k in Japan). The sales from Oceania and South-America also count, even if little.

The biggest difference between Starcraft and COD4 is that the PC gaming market is far bigger than it was 11 years ago, and it's easier to have great sales than before. That's why I want to clarify How the PS3 and X360 versions sold in the few markets until December 31, 2007, so we can have an idea of how the PC versions sold in just a few markets and no digital distribution.
