Of course they won't listen and change. 
This is the multiplayer that Modern Warfare 2 will will have on the PC, for better or worse.
I just wish they would at least offer development tools so that the amazing community of third party modders could come up with an alternative.

that would mean they couldn't sell you dlc though
Anybody a bit gutted at cancelling their pre-order? I very nearly re-ordered straight again after cancelling, such was the wave of depression/realisation that one of my most waited for games of late, was no more.
I am feeling better as time goes on. (Laws of Thermodynamics anybody.)

I cannot see where you are getting that 8mil figure from in ANY of the things you have linked to.
You also seem to throwing around $ values rather than game sold values, the money values are for ALL games, nut just COD. They also include DLC for XBox and so on ($10 a pop).
Equally that does not list WoW as WoW is not a "published" title (really) monthly, but a subscription (not sure where that would appear on those accounts).
I am only interested in the raw sales data for COD4, not any value attached to it.
Oh, and for the record, my sources are the same as yours, Activision accounts use NPD data just like my articles

You realise that wouldn't achieve anything but give Activision more ammunition to favour console gamers right?
There was some statistic saying the xbox had had 4mil online visitors and that therefore with an online ratio of 50% of sales it must be 8mil, it deffo hasnt sold that many though.
Do you seriously think pc gaming is coming back regardless. By boycotting the game = less revenue = same outcome as piracy
That's not a defined figure though is it? NPD data tends to be better, and I'm unable to actually find any more recent data than what I posted

No it isn't.
Boycotting suggests that the fanbase is not satisfied by the quality of the product and that they expect more.
Pirating suggests the fanbase are scum who want something for nothing.
I think sid's point is that Infinity Ward aren't going to react to this by going "What have we done?!?!?? GET DEDICATED SERVER SUPPORT NOW!" They're going to go "Let's cease producing games for the PC and work exclusively on console to prevent further loss."
And someone (like DICE, or VALVe) will step in and take the market that they have left behind - so no loss really.
