Forums - Sony - Can Modern Warfare 2 hit 10 million on the PS3?

Well seems rather likely, mainly due to the lack of competition it'll have for awhile. I don't know if that is because of the weakness of other developers in that category or j ust because it is so strong but it has already been able to survive MAG and Bad Company 2 even with the latter putting up big sales. And this showed for the previous CoD games as well as Modern Warfare 1 and World at War both sold well despite big first party shooter releases.

Guess when we look down the road, it's really not til the next Call of Duty game comes out can something even be on the same level with it to start taking away sales. Until then, looks like the definite shooter for the system that will maintain high sales. I think it has a shot, but I also think as we get to the summer months, sales will start to slow especially as hardware sales start to slow.

I don't think it'll get that far.



May the adjustments be with you


I feel a disturbance in the sales

I don't think it will, sales will die easily.

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.

so uk unofficial bundles means it was heavily bundled? lol. Anyway you can't compare the legs of mw and mw2. Mw2 was extremly frontloaded while mw wasn't. What makes you think with initial sales 10 times as high as the first one, it will be able to have the same legs. Way to many people who want the game already bought it, and once a few more quality fps come out, new ps3 buyers will not buy it ether.



It probably will imo it dosen´t deserve it. Ive lost all interest to play the game anymore online don´t appeal to me as Cod4 did.

it's just that MW2 is such a royal piece of shit as a game, so many other titles deserve this over that over hyped trash, from a hack developer (infinity ward is the Micheal Bay of game developers).
B ack in the day it was ok to make a gta clone because gta was awesome, now every fps is going to want to mimic cod and it's just sad, really makes me weep gaming, and gamers for that matter.

Did you really just call Infinity Ward the Michael Bay of game developers?

See, this is what ruins the site. Trolling. And not creative trolling, mind you. Just stuff like this.



 

 

Im not interested in this game but it is probably a good game since it has sold so well. 10mil is possible if they the price goes down and its bundled.



Yes it will, What you guys are forgetting is it will be getting another holiday boost. The new COD wont take much sales away from MW2 either if the same trends are still appealing, even though CoD4 was older it still outsold CoD5. Infinity Ward is just a more liked company by the public in my opinion, or the whole "modern era" of war is more appealing rather then the historical type of war.

Either way Modern Warfare 2 WILL reach 10 million units sold on PS3. It hasn't even been half a year and already it's at 7.5 million units sold. With weekly numbers about 80k.



yes most likely, i don't think the next COD will effect the sales too much because a lot of people who buy the infinity ward games don't care much for the treyarch ones



no idea how to make this properly work
