I think it will, and I'll be really happy when it does. Seriously, I don't usually post this way, but I think a lot of you hate the game just because it's not a PS3 exclusive. Get over it. Most PS3 owners obviously don't care if a game is exclusive or not. And Modern Warfare 2 is set to become the highest selling 360 game as well. Just accept that it's an incredibly popular game. It's definitely well deserved.

I don't think PS3 owners hate on the game for being incredible and having great legs. For myself, I'm annoyed by the fact that none of the exclusives on the PS3 have gotten those kind of sales, but a mulitplatform game has. Games such as Metal Gear Solid 4 and Uncharted 2 definitely should be getting those kind of numbers; They deserve those kind of sales.

Why does it matter if it's an exclusive or not? Shouldn't you just be happy that any game on the PS3 will sell 10 million? The PS3 has come a long way from the doom and gloom of 2007.

I think a lot of people hate it... Because it's Activision. Not because of the game itself.

Add that into the fact the game is a glitchy, hacked mess... And you get haters. Oh, and the fact that IW went with 360 for timed exclusive maps.

People don't want to see Activision do well anymore.

I hate how a multi-platform game has the chance to become the first 10 million seller on the PS3, while incredible exclusives, like Uncharted 2 and Killzone 2, are just at an average of 3-4 million.... come on people!

Blame sony for not advertising them like the 2nd coming of god, cough halo 3, cough mwf2..

Yep.

i don't think so. If you compare the sales, COD is at about the same place as halo 3 was in the same timeframe, but halo 3 is very well associated with xbox allowing it to have great legs later on and get to 10mil in a bit less then 2years. This MW will have to deal with an influx of shooters that will greatly reduce its sales. For now it is considered a must buy when u get a ps3, but that won't last that long, especially if the upcoming shooters are very good or get advertised.


Halo 3 was heavily bundled. MW2 is pulling these sorts of numbers without any such bundle. And the sequel won't totally kill sales, MW1 was still selling after WAW and even MW2 came out. I see it maxing out just slightly over 10 million, maybe 10.5 million.

No halo 3 was not heavily bundled.  To my knowledge it had 1 official bundle and that was just last year during the christmas season.  

OT: I don't think it will quite get there on the PS3, it will be pretty dang close though!

UK saw many bundles, but only 1 official IIRC.

Yeah exactly...A lot of games see many unofficial bundles.

What it has going for it - 7.44 million copies sold, consistent 80k weekly sales for the past weeks. It has not yet had a budget release in any region and stores have not discounted its price.

No store has discounted the price eh? lol

It'll get there easily.




toastboy44562 on 03 April 2010

easy, i can see it going to 11 million



FantasySky on 03 April 2010

prob but i think that gran turismo 5 will end up being the ps3's best selling by the end of this gen....that is if some kind of super game comes out in the next 6-7 year (presumeing ps3 keeps with the 10 year theme)

OMG WOW its actually possible

But The new COD this holiday will reduce sales

I'm sad that the first game to have a shot at reaching 10 million is CoD :(

I'm not sad about it.

It probably deserves it ye know.

But don't fret GT5 will be the 2nd!



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey
