Modern Warfare 2 outsells Call of Duty 4 on PC. Becomes best-selling PC entry in the series history
The outrage from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2’s PC version not supporting dedicated servers in which 100,000 angry fans signed a petition against the game (which ballooned to 220,000+ in the end); telling Activision to reconsider adding dedicated server support back to the game . . . ended up not amounting to much in the grand scheme of things for Activision, as far sales are concerned.
First week sales of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 on the PC were greater than that of the original game, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, which makes it the most successful PC Call of Duty in the franchises history.
This is according to Activision community manager Robert “fourzerotwo” Bowling, who posted in reply to a thread about how the PC version of Modern Warfare 2 was a “flop” in the UK, due to the PC version accounting for only 3% of overall Modern Warfare 2 sales.
To the contrary, Bowling stated that this only shows how overwhelmingly successful the console edition’s are; But does not mean that the PC version was a flop in the grand scheme of things.
Modern Warfare 2 overall generated over $550 million dollars worldwide in the first five-days of release. Making it the biggest entertainment launch in history, surpassing movies like The Dark Knight, books like Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, and games like Grand Theft Auto 4. And, naturally, blowing sales of previous entries in the Call of Duty series out of the water in most respects.
