Modern Warfare 2 to sell over 11 million.
IW will break off from Activision in the same way Bungie did from MS? I seriously doubt that. Bungie was let go under the condition that they give Microsoft a first look at everything they make. Activision loves money far too much to allow such a cash cow go.
That number is rather large, but considering it's incredibly popular on PC, Xbox, and PS3 i guess it's possible. One things for sure, if you like COD4 and/or WAW you will definitely love MW2.
I remember reading somewhere that WaW just broke 11 or 12 million but that was in 8 or 9 months. The game will sell millions but I just don't think it'll sell that much in such a short time.
HOW IS THIS NEWS?!?
How is speculating something that will or won't happen in the future worth the amount of time it took someone to write this? I'm not denying that MW2 is going to sell a fuck-ton, and probably deservedly so if Infinity Ward's past record is any indication. But analysts "assuming" and "anticipating" stuff based on graphs and charts is really about as much news as when someone gets on my TV and tells me that gas prices are (probably) going to go up tomorrow.
It is like everyone is so busy trying to get the story first, we've decided to report on things before they happened.
And to be clear I'm not bad at you for posting this; its a perfectly fine thing to have a thread about. I'm more just dumbfounded with how people like this can say something and anyone besides executives really pay attention.
I really doubt it, dont get me wrong i think it will sell VERY well. But after talking to many of my friends who are semi-gamers, they dont really think of Cod4 as modern warfare, they think of it as CoD4. And when i said they were making a new CoD4, they didnt even know about it. (one of my friends even asked me if CoD6 was still coming out)
" @T0mF5: I really don't see how people don't appreciate the COD4 singleplayer, it was one of the best SP I've ever played in a FPS with literally tons of "... OH SHI-" moments. "Yeah, one of my friends didn't really care about the SP either, said it was nothing special. Pfft.
" http://www.neowin.net/index.php?act=view&id=55994I'm willing to bet that's what they are hoping will happen.If that would be the case I believe that Infinity Ward will brake off of Activision"
" @Meteora said:Yeah. I also find it annoying that some gamers gun for multiplayer first when they get the game and not even bother with the singleplayer. I heard 30% didn't even complete the first mission from IW statistics." @T0mF5: I really don't see how people don't appreciate the COD4 singleplayer, it was one of the best SP I've ever played in a FPS with literally tons of "...

All I've seen is Modern Warfare 2 popping up on EVERYTHING, but there are still people calling it Call of Duty...As far as the story goes, 11 million isn't impossible, especially for Modern Warfare 2. The thing is getting fanfare receptions of joy that rival Halo with no problem."
I'm probably going to have trouble calling the game by its name.
" @MasterOfPenguins_Zell said:Even though IW dropped the CoD name from MW2 its still a CoD game. Its got the same narrative, gameplay mechanics, etc." @Meteora said:Yeah.
