PC games weren't being tracked, if they were, I know the Orange Box for the PC over two million copies, which would have put it at seventh on that list.

I have a good feeling there's more copies of COD4 for PC than 360.

That fortnight when we bought it at the same price as the Yanks would have cranked it right up.

My state was founded by Batman. Your opinion is invalid.

They didn't lose anything, they just didn't gain it.

In potential profits, obviously.

And COD4 wasn't even out the whole year. Infact it was out a fraction of the time the others were.

In the real world there is no such thing as potential profits. People dont calculate what they didnt make. Thats like saying "4.82 million people bought Halo 3 but the rest of the 8 billion people in the world didnt so we lost money" Yet again, you make yourself look like a fucking idiot by bringing up your retarded "ZOMG PIRACY HURTS BABIES" bullshit.
