It is to be expected i suppose with COD being such a huge brand name that it would be the most pirated

(i had to use this is made me lol )

ha as expected I guess lol I have no idea how they get that sort of thing to work with Steam, no idea and don't want to know.

Lets say you took Online registered players - Total Sales chart, would it equal the Pirated chart?

ha! well we are 5% of the market so they say so 5% of 1st day total sales is 280,000

but according to http://gamrreview.vgchartz.com/sales/44 ... black-ops/

we snapped up a lot more then that 440,000 first day and after 6 weeks 851,942, so for some people to have pirated the game 4,270,000 times means there are some silly pirates that are having to download the game multiple times as they messed up the install.... lol Or they are hackers and VAC is getting them so they have to re download it, there must be lodes of other reasons i just cant think of anymore

I really duno if these numbers are correct at all to have 851,942 people who have the game and only 60,000 people to be playing it at one time is that realistic? i hav no idea and sites that offer torrents are not going to check their numbers are correct are they they don't care they could be completely wrong i know for a fact there are little programs to pretend to download a torrent

Also how a Torrent works is you download a small Torrent file and put it into a torrent downloaded and these sites could just be tracking how many of the small torrent files have been downloaded not how many people have downloaded the actual game

Of the posts to that report, this is the most pertinent:

I would say that poster is correct - the figures are way out, and the actual figure is more like 200,000.

makes more scene 4,270,000 is stupid

"most pc gamers think that cod is a joke" thats not really backed by good statistics either.

Ya that's a very stupid comment to make. Hard to take anything he posts seriously after a comment like that. One even wonders if he plays pc games....

and people comment that piracy isn't as much a problem on console as pc, well those numbers prove its 1/4 the problem, which is still A LOT more then most people realize.
