MW2 on PC outsold MW in one week!

Speaking on the official Infinity Ward forums, Robert Bowling, Community Manager for Infinity Ward has stated that the PC version of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has already outsold the PC version of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.

"The PC version of Modern Warfare 2 has actually outsold the PC version of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare in its first week," wrote Bowling, "making it the most successful PC version."

Numbers of the sales have yet to be provided. Link

I wonder why they never release PC numbers? Are they that pathetic?

he looks to be pretty obviously talking about 1st week sales only of both MW 2 and MW 1. I would be dissapointed if Pc gamers bought so many copies of a lame game like MW 2 like console gamersnaval

And people doubt thatconsoles dominate FPS genre. The majority of PC gamers are still playing Counter Strike

Oh hermits. Im so ashamed.

In a post on the company's official message boards, community manager Robert Bowling states that while the PC port does have the smallest market share of all three versions of the game, that doesn't mean the PC version is not a big seller. He writes, "The PC version of Modern Warfare 2 has actually outsold the PC version of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare in its first week.Jamex1987

In other words the first week of MW 2 sales were greater that first week of MW 1 sales ... so ?

And people doubt thatconsoles dominate FPS genre. The majority of PC gamers are still playing Counter Strike

Well I will not comment on the quality of games like Crysis, stalker etc v/s Halo v/s R2, KZ2. if consoles dominate so much in the FPS genre why are they not able to secure any third party exclusive and have to rely on MS/Sony to fund it for them, :roll: ?

And finally, do you have a point here ?

Teh boycott worked woot :|

i think that cod:mw first week of sales is less than cod:mw2 first week of sales not more sales overall from one week

As I said in another thread: Good joke because:

A) COD 4 sold on PC between 2 to 3 millions, while seems that MW 2 still didn't reach the 0.5 millions.

B) http://ve3d.ign.com/articles/news/51467/Modern-Warfare-2-U-K-PC-Sales-Lagging-Way-Behind/

C) Currently the two years old COD 4 has more than 80.000 Xfire players at day that is > than MW 2 60.000.

So, I think that He's lying.

LULZ teh BOYCOTZ FAILZED LOL. Oh wait i feel this is a repost of a repost of a respost of a repost of a repost...(Not the news but the response)

2 to 3 million? Can you provide a source? No you can't. And you base your comparison on something likeXfire? Something most people don't bother using.

Jamex1987

I'm pretty sure that COD 4 sales were higher than Crysis ones, and Crysis sold 1.5 millions in the first months that almost assured 2 millions after this last two years. So COD 4 sold probably 2.5-3 millions in PC, not too hard to think because is the most played online fps in PC and the Xfire numbers are really close to World Of Warcraft, a game that sold over 11.5 mullions.

Your criticism about Xfire as source has no sense: -we all known that Xfire numbers doesn't represent the WHOLE gaming community in PC, but since is free, useful and not intrusive is very popular and very REPRESENTATIVE. So even in the total numbers are far away from the real global numbers, the Xfire % are very accurate, IMO.

Bowling is probably trying to do some damage control before the BC 2 beta explodes in PC in matter of days; this is a attempt to evade the panic because if they lost their PC players a MMOFPS with monthly fees based on COD/MW will be doomed, because consoles already are unable to provide a decent base to MMO games.

Xfire numbers are useless.

Xfire numbers are useless.

Xfire numbers and Gametraking numbers are the most accurate vision from the PC online gaming, and if you see the top ten games in Xfire you can't be wrong about the results, and allready are showing a 2 years old game (COD 4) trampling MW 2 in number of players. DSadly, MW 2 doesn't have any dedicated servers, so the Gametracking numbers for MW 2 are = 0.

For sure, both are more beliable sources than the Bowling mouth.

Counter Strike is still the best competitive FPS out there.

I call it BS. Why don't they release the numbers for the PC version of the game. They released numbers for the console versions but for PC they are not releasing the sales figures, I wonder why....

And even if it did outsell COD 4, so what? The amount of hype and marketting was 10x times bigger than the first MW game.

Actually wouldn't digital sales be extremely easy to track compared to hard copies with 20 middle men where at any point something could be slipped up?

I wouldn't be surprised if Activision just named the next game: "Call of Duty: We can do whatever the hell we want and you'll still buy it."

Since every single game has to be registered with steam it is really easy to track but steam and others never release numbers.

well i agree with one thing he said. pc is the smallest market...for console games

Lol PC gamers are all talk! They come on here complaining, crying trying to boycott Activision, IW, and the game itself and as soon as the game hits the store shelves they all run out and buy a copy! :lol:

NPD has the numbers.Jamex1987

Poor souls,

they rambled on the forums,

they made a boycott,

such a weak state of mind disgusts me.

Major_Reeves

You have no idea how many people boycotted actualyl bought it. For all we know, every single person tha boycotted didn't buy it but there was still a lot of people that didn't boycott that did buy it.

Such a weak state of logic disgusts me.

Obviously my comment was targeted to those "poor souls" that boycotted the game, yet they bough it.

Your lack of intelligence is "amusing".

And I'm also one of the boycotters :shock:but to show my disregard to IW I just dl the game, played it and once the folks got it fully working went on line just to mock those said "poor souls". This is coming from someone that owns all previous call of duty games.

Keep downloading?

Downloading what? Care to elaborate at least? So you actually agree with what IW and activision did with the pc version of MW2?.

Ho and freeloading, lol, I have all previous cod games, original versions, as matter of fact I buy all games that I see deemed worthy, pc exclusives are guaranteed and multi-platforms as long as they aren't crippled console ports (hello mw2 !!).

So your argument is invalid my friend.

I see. So despite the lack of gameplay changes it was demoted from PC game to consolite because of dedicated servers?darkmoney52

less options, no dedicated servers, no lean and peak, and a console attitude. yes.

COD4 was just a **** game in general.
