Only 5 movies have grossed over 1 billion world wide (Titanic, Avatar, Return of the King, Dead Man's Chest, and The Dark Knight), so this is quite an accomplishment for Modern Warfare 2.

Congratulations are in order, and whether you enjoyed the game or not (hey, it has local multiplayer, so It can't be all bad ), you can't ignore the huge milestone the game has made.

It's worth noting, among the understandable desire for Activision to beat its chest, the relative gap between the cost of a cinema ticket, for example, or CD, vs MW2.

I paid approx $10 to see Avatar and approx $65 (exchange rate adjusted) to play MW2.

That of course doesn't dimish the performance or the profits, but it is worth considering the advantage this gives big performing videogames.

Good point. In fact, when we look at Avatar, we also must see that ticket sales in themselves for the movie have not even broken the top 100 yet (as far as I know). It's the fact that so many people are seeing this movie in 3D and IMAX (a bit pricer than your typical movie ticket) that is what keeps this movie going strong four weeks after release (earning $50 million in its fourth week in U.S. theaters: incredible).

But I'm just babbling now (You could say that I enjoyed the movie ). It's good to see the game do well. ^_^
