The PC had 4.1 million downloads for MW2.
The Xbox 360 version of Modern Warfare 2 was downloaded 970,000 times.
TorrentFreak also evaluated the most pirated games on the Wii. Not surprisingly, it was the New Super Mario Bros. that took the top spot with 1.15 million downloads. It was followed by Punch-Out, Wii Sports Resort, House of the Dead: Overkill, and Mario Power Tennis.
The PS3 is the only one with no pirates.

PC Gaming Hardware Expected to Grow 30% in 2010

It will teach them a lesson, not to piss off the PC gaming crowd or not to make games for the PC. But the idiots stating that the people will quite making PC games because of piracy are total fools. You actually think that they are going to quit making games in the biggest market for gaming. IW might leave it, but someone will take its place. When there is green to be made, someone will always try to grab the most they can, greed is awesome.
But kind of ironic that the Xbox360 had a lo...
I really don’t like awards. I do like reviews and scores as an average between all reviewers (even players). The reason I don’t like these awards is because one game can be multiplatform, while others can be just for one platform. Multiplatform games can be awesome on one system, while mediocre on another. But going from what you guys are saying, if Demon Souls is a better game then it lost the award because it is only on the PS3. I will have to check it out since I do own a PS3. But I am mos...
I wonder what the competition is thinking about, with all of these deals. I bet D2D, Impulse and Gamersgate are scratching their heads.
I went to Vista the day it came out. That will never happen again. But anyway, i will wait and see about Win8 before I do anything. More than likely I will bypass Win7. Vista is working fine for me (and always had).
That was the reason for dedicated servers. I have seen cheaters from time to time in the PC versions of MW and Waw. But admins usually get rid of them.
I dislike both companies, but dislike Gamestop more. When they put PC games on one little shelf, I quit going, now I buy digital. Walmart is Walmart, the destroyer of the small business, don’t shop there, don’t care about them.
Playing in combat and being in combat are two different things. When the first artillery round landed, there wouldn’t be enough underwear to go around.
My nephew, who is an avid Xbox 360 fan, thinks he can dominate me in a Xbox 360 vs PC match of MW. I would love to have the opportunity to show him how wrong he is.
Has anyone even looked? That article was made last year. PC gaming is expected to grow by 30% next year. The consoles will get stagnated in the net few years, because the hardware is getting old.
And I will say this again, the hardware for a PC might be more expensive (unless you’re a shopper waiting for the good deals). But the software on the PC is A LOT cheaper. I bought AAA games for $5.00.
I think the blogger has a point. But however, Steam is a great service and if devs don’t like it, there are other avenues to sell their game. I would love to see more Digital Distributors in the arena. I wouldn’t mind all companies that distributes games have their own system. Steam and Impulse are very small downloads and if one goes down, you have another to play your other games. As of right now if Steam goes down, I’ll have 80% of my games down, unless I play them single player. Currently...
I have to agree with dchalfont. I buy all my games on PC, not one has been pirated. But talking about pirating, wasn’t MW2 first pirated on the Xbox 360?
I like both and play both. I see future content for L4D on the same level as L4d2. But I have to agree, Hard Rain is awesome and L4D2 bring my blood pressure up 10 fold.
I agree, look at MMOs and you can see the market for PC gamers. Besides I own a PS3 and a Wii also. But most of my funds go to PC games.
Ok, then take out allowed and you should be happy. Steam was the only one selling the game by digital means.
I got to call BS on the article and I also have to consider the source.
Let’s look at the facts. PS3 and Xbox 360 had to go to the store to buy MW2. Very few places sell PC games any more, they are mostly digital downloaded. I would say 95% of the games I bought this year were DD. Now, only Steam was allowed to sale the product.
That is why the PC got low numbers. Not included the boycott and other issues.
In my opinion if they game is sub par when crossed over, it sh...
I really don’t care for IW, but I got to side with them on this one. If someone types in c*nt or bi^ch then, girl would be a decent substitute.
But why is this even news?
Too bad they did incorporate the L4D survivors in this game, so you could have an 8 man co-op.
We get better deals than our gaming brothers across the pond. You might get a better deal on that game, but going by the Steam forums all EU gamers get bent over.
