E3 2010: MW2 sells 20 million copies

Fastest-selling Call of Duty title reaches new sales milestone

Activision’s hugely popular Modern Warfare 2 has unlocked a new achievement – over 20m copies of the game have been sold since release.

CFO Thomas Tippl revealed the news to investors at the publisher’s E3 2010 conference. He said: "Modern Warfare 2 has sold more than 20m units against an install base of 55m on Xbox 360 and PS3."

CEO Bobby Kotick added: “The Call of Duty franchise has reached life-to-date revenues of $3bn.”

The game was originally released on November 10th last year on Xbox 360, PS3, PC and DS and went on to become the best-selling game of 2009.

Activision has since released a DLC expansion pack consisting of five extra maps for Xbox Live and PSN. The next Call of Duty title – Black Ops – is scheduled to hit retail on November 9th this year.

The best selling FPS ever. The Call Of Duty franchise is just a behemoth.

I wonder if MW3 can be as big?

I doubt that MW3 would be bigger since it would have to be made by a different developer.

I thought they already reached 20 million a couple of months ago.

IF it goes like what happening now

BLACK OPS will cut its sales

if its 20m now then it won't reach 25m imo

Well CoD4 sold about 3.5 million after World at War launched, and that was without any PC sales.  MW2 still has another 5 or so months before black ops.  25m shipped should be no problem.
