Looks likely to me. I guess when he says by November he means a full 1st year.... ie what it will have sold 52 weeks from launch.

It has 42 weeks to sell 2.36 million.... that's an average of 56k per week, now it will go down in weekly sales through the year but the last week it did almost 245k

It could do 20 million all said & done!!!

hmmm, possibly, but assuming the current VGC figures are correct (and ignoring PC version as usual) I will say I doubt it.

My last post detailed that MW managed 4 million in that period, while World at War managed only 2.5 million..... both of them had about the same sales for the equivalent current week as MW2 does now (about 235-245k for all three games) and yet they managed such different figures for the extended period.
With such a huge launch it could be that it falls short of selling 18 million after 52 weeks... though I still think it is likely to make it. I don't think it will manage another 2 million from then on though.

hmm ok.

I think if we count PC sales, by the end of this gen it may very well be past 20 Million shipments wise.

I think its even more impressive if MW2 is doing what COD4 & WAW did in this week, considering it had the highest launch of the 3.
