Tony Bartel, GameStop's executive vice president of merchandising and marketing, has some high expectations for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. In fact, he told shareholders and media listening in on the company's recent Q2 earnings call that the latest Infinity Ward FPS "could be the best selling title of all time," IndustryGamers reports. Of all time.

That would be quite an impressive feat, given the titles it'd need to trample in order to become king of the hill. In its 21 months on sale, the original Modern Warfare has sold 7.7 million copies across all platforms in the US, according to NPD. For comparison, Wii Play, which has sold more than 11 million copies in the states according to NPD, leads the all-time best sellers list for games that were never bundled with a console or handheld. If you consider pack-ins, it'd have to beat Wii Sports' nearly 24 million units in the States. To do that, every PS3 and Xbox 360 owner in the US would need to buy a copy.

So, yes: It could be the best selling game of all time. Emphasis on "could."

i dont think so

thats lame, of course it "can" be the best selling game

no way, it wont beat wsr, wii sports, or wii fit

it could be the best selling third party game for the 360 and ps3

Not a chance

Err. Wii Sports is not the best sold game in America if including pack-ins. Super Mario Bros. is.

Ignoring pack-ins though, it is still a very very difficult target, as Wii Play will probably end this year at over 14 million.... and will only keep going from there.

Wii fit, Wii sports, MKWii, MKds, Pokemon, NSMB, Nintendogs ALL say hi

Doubt it,

doesnt stop the fact that it will be an awesome game though.

not a chance in hell.

To give it a goal the game can actually reach, I feel there's a possibility it can be the greatest selling title not to be published by Nintendo.

It should be the best selling game not bundled with an accessory pretty easily.
