It looks like the failure that is the Modern Warfare 2 boycott for the PC staged much in the same way as the Left 4 Dead 2 boycott continues to fall very short of whatever lofty goal legitimate boycotters had in mind. It was already bad enough when on launch day a majority of people in the Modern Warfare 2 boycott Steam group were playing the game, but now according to Infinity Ward the PC version of the game has already outsold the first Modern Warfare.
The news came from a post on the community forums by creative strategist Robert Bowling, “The PC version of Modern Warfare 2 has actually outsold the PC version of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare in its first week. Making it the most successful PC version.” Unfortunately there were no official numbers revealed, but the fact that in the short amount of time it’s been out and that it’s already outselling the previous Modern Warfare, is impressive.

wheres the phucking proof and numbers? you definitely can’t trust IW now when it comes to anything, but IMO, no one really cares, cause 90% of the people pirated the game of the pc, only the idiots who don’t know how bought it rofl.

I don’t believe it. At least pull some numbers out of you butt to make it convincing IW. Most poeple I know that own COD4 for pc don’t own MW2 and many I know that bought it regret buying the pc version.

Keep in mind that your own vantage point doesn’t always reflect the mass vantage point. For example a co-worker of mine is currently playing the Steam version of MW2 which he paid for. I’m sure we’ll see official numbers from NDP at some point.

Of course its going to outsell, its 10 bucks more then the original one. Its going to sell more since the price was jacked up. FAIL.

The term “outsell” is normally used when talking about units sold, not overall revenue. I’m guessing that’s what he’s talking about.
