[cod] MW2 grosses $310m in North America and UK

[Midnight]

Of those 3% I expect about 50% had no idea there were no dedicated 
servers.  The other 50% probably are likely the single player noobs who 
don't play online.

IW will look at these numbers and probably just abandon the PC market 
altogether instead of realizing there were easily half a million people 
that boycotted the game.  500k x $60 is 30Million they could have added 
to their numbers.  Surely that could have paid for a developer to build 
the dedicated server if they wanted to.

Oh well, just opens the door for the next game developer who wants to 
support the PC platform.


On another note, I've had several requests for PS3 dedicated servers for 
MW2 like there are for UT3.  Apparently people do not like the p2p 
hosting even on consoles, imagine that.
