Early estimates peg Modern Warfare 2 has sold 7 million copies in its first day, crushing previous records.
Take that as you will. All I'll say on the matter is that if this ends up being a signal flare to all other developers that it's okay to ignore the gamers, lower the potential quality of your product, and charge more for it...well we know who to blame here don't we?
Never mind, that article has PC figures.
Shit, since when have people been stupid........never mind I asked that.
PC sales are estimated at 12% there, making the number of PC sales 840,000 which is actually a fairly small percentage of the total PC (11 million alone play WoW) userbase. We shall see.
Edit: According to a recent survey by the NPD, it is estimated that there are ~67.3 million Americans who use the PC as their primary gaming platform. If that's anywhere close to true, then the Modern Warfare 2 sales comprise a mere 1.2% of JUST American PC gamers. If you want to estimate the percentage based upon "avid gamers," it's closer to 5%.

*NOTE* Any statistics I'm putting here are just based on speculation, so don't take em for fact pls.
lol'd at the stats, but to clarify before a shitstorm: 11 million total accounts - China = 5 million or so WoW users.
Still, damn.
So, I just read all the posts you guys had concerning it. Looks pretty shitty tbh. I'll get it, but I'm definately not paying for it without knowing if it's gonna be bad. I'm still pissed about the lack of dedi's.
Xbox Live has server banks as well for the service. I don't think they're dedicated servers for game hosting.Quote:

So far I'm liking it. Some pretty good action scenes that I felt were original
My complaints so far is that, for the emotions I think they try to convey, it just seems too fast paced and that the guns, while varied, all just seem the same power-wise except the BAR.
Then opening "cinematics" for each level are awesome, and they do something special in each level which sorta breaks the monotony of shoot -> run -> cover -> shoot; my only beef with this, so far (I've just started it), is that they failed to carry the mood set by the opening or at least, in-level, while face-paced the atmosphere just seems to flat-line. /over-analyzation
Can't really give it a rating 'cause I've played so little of the single player, but its more than decent so far.
