20 Million is a huge slap on the faces of all :


people who stated MW2 was overrated

people who diss fps on consoles


Actually, that's 2 faceslaps for most of them

No it's not... I think the sales just make it look even more overrated. 

 

yeah... 'cause games are not for the masses right ? One needs to be educated in order to appreciate the value of fun (/slap #3).

The first millions of people who bought this game loved it and are telling other millions they would too.

if word of mouth is not an indication of satisfied customers please tell me what would be

Really don't see your point... Seems like you're trying to be condescending, but i'm wondering if you understand what's meant by overrated. I don't use sales to determine quality nor do I need to, I played the game. If the game had sold under 3 million and got worse reviews, I wouldn't consider it over rated because it would seem fitting to what I think of the game. Seeing it sell 10M on a single platform wouldn't make me think better of it or make me feel as if I was wrong... that only applies to sheep. I think the game deserves less, it got more, so I feel it got more than it deserved- I FEEL IT'S OVERRATED.

Sorry, why is your opinion of the game superior to all others again ?

On another note, I don't get your word of mouth comment AT ALL. GTAIV is a prime example of how pointless it was of you to mention that. Both games were in established series that were bound to see good sales in the next entry. Do you know how much Activision spent on marketting MW2? Less than 13M sales would have been saddening. 

Had the game been overated the customers would have been disappointed. Scenario which did not happen (especially given the FPS genre is a very hard genre from which to stand out). On the contrary, ModernWarfare 2 took a Halo kind of curve, early adopters were plenty, trusting the brand(s) and the reviews, their word of mouth snowballed into an even plentier total of 20 million consumers.
