Dont think I need to say much more...the title is pretty self explanatory. I just figure that if Pc is generating by far and away the most revenue and ive seen people claim its not all because of WoW and other subscription based games surely it must outsell the consoles in a good proportion of multiplats...which tbh i dont think it does. Please back up any claims with evidence! I dont want any "this was always a pc game so it obviously sold more on pc" without proof!
Any Recent Mulltiplats where Pc has sold the most?

well... Pc games do better than multiplat games.. take for instance Dawn of War 2
Dawn Of War II Tops Global PC Sales
Dawn of War II didn't just do big business in the US. It's done big business the world over, with publishers THQ announcing that game went straight to #1 across most of the Western world.
Calling upon the same global sales data that we used to get those handy worldwide sales charts from, it's been revealed that upon release, the game went to the top spot in the US, Britain, France, Germany, Spain and Australia.
In case you missed our review, such success is entirely deserved.
look at Sega's success with them releasing pc centric titles
Sega: PC sales are stronger than reported
Growing digital sales mean that the charts don't tell the full PC games story
Publishing giant Sega has defended PC gaming, calling it a strong and vital market for the games industry.
Physical retail sales of PC games are continuing to slide in 2010, but Sega's UK MD John Clark says that isn't a fair representation of the market – with digital sales now accounting for a large proportion of revenue.
"The PC market is third in terms of its year-on-year performance with a decline of 26 per cent, but this doesn't really reflect the full picture," said Clark.
"The PC digital download business is now a viable sector but somewhat invisible as it's not yet covered by Chart-Track. The PC market overall is actually performing much better than is currently reported and remains a vital and strong sector to be involved in."
Sega was the second biggest UK PC publisher in 2009, with 12 per cent share of the market.
Meanwhile, year-to-date in 2010 the company has a 12.8 per cent share of the PC games sector. This was boosted by the strong performance last month of Aliens vs Predator, Napoleon: Total War, as well as continued sales of Football Manager 2010.
"Last month's PC chart illustrates Sega's position within this sector," added Clark.
"Napoleon: Total War, Football Manager 2010 and Aliens vs Predator are three different **** of game from three different genres. They can all drive a strong, community fan base with the ability to consistently deliver endless hours of gameplay. Incidentally, they are all developed in the UK.
"For 2009, Sega was ranked the second biggest PC publisher in the market. In 2010 year-to-date, we are once again ranked second. Long may it continue."
