actually, according to Robert Bowling, (unfortunately) it launched better than COD4. again, according to him, what happened was (obviously) an overall increase in sales, but the PC increase (obviously) was lower than the consoles.
the words above were backed by NUCLEAR WEAPONS!
And according to him, there'd be no change in how multiplayer works. Oops!

Actually, for a PC game, it sold really well.

It's amazing how predictable some people are.
BTW have you found any statistics with numbers on piracy yet or are you still just spouting hearsay?

huh? For a game that's not a WoW expansion where EVERYONE needs to get it the day of, for a PC game, it had tremendous first week sales. PC games don't tend to do the majority of their lifetime sales in the first month like consoles, so selling 500k+ week 1 indicates that it'll have millions of sales lifetime. While it would be a terrible opening for a console (500k first week would indicate under 2m lifetime, generally) it's good for a PC opening. (And of course, also because other than a couple genres, i.e. RTS, sales are generally much higher on consoles)
Well, the BSA is the primary source of piracy estimates, and here are those they released.

Unfortunately MW2 will have nowhere near the legs of COD4, or even World at War. Modern Warfare 2 PC is dropping like a stone! The boycott and negative press is definitely hurting MW2.
For Comparison of UK sales:
Call of duty 4
1st Week: 8th
2nd Week: 13th
5 places drop
Modern Warfare 2
1st Week: 5th
2nd Week: 20th
15 places drop
Add to the fact that it already lost the 1st place on Steam (the only DD service being sold at) and is not being sold at Direct2Drive, Gamersgate, Impulse, etc... makes this all more disappointing of MW2. It's also dropping like made at Amazon.com.
MW2's sales are hurt? If it goes on to be the multiplatform FPS version of Halo, then what does this say? Anyone have any clue when Halo 3 is due to hit the PC? Activision may decide to just flat out forget the PC for future versions of the MW series.

On your list the first country that probably gets the same release date as any other coutry is Russia all thee way down at 38 or so. Any other country which has good distribution of software is well under 50%.
