The FPS genre really has taken off this gen. I'd say it's because that console gamers are really playing online a lot this gen which has really helped to boost the sales of all online shooters.

That's not a reason to celebrate.

Damn to hell this generation and its FPS centric vision.


Exactly my thoughts

mine too

Hell! MW2, a casual game? Some people have week-long multiplayer activity and scoring correctly in FFA or SnD demands hours of training or FPS experience. MW2 is a perfect example of hardcore gaming and I'm more than happy that it smashed those casual games. (but yes, Valkyria Chronicles should really be higher in Japan and Europe... it saddens me to think it is still so low in those territories, which should best appreciate the game)

Modern Warfare 2 becomes top selling UK game… ever

See this, Dr Kawashima? This is danger close right up in your bespectacled face.

 

Chart-Track’s confirmed that Modern Warfare 2 is now the biggest selling British game of all time.

The Infinity Ward shooter achieved the feat this week, 41 weeks from launch. The game has spent only three weeks outside the top 10 since releasing in 2009.

MW2 has stolen the UK crown from Dr Kawashima on DS, which took around 36 months to overtake the previous holder, GTA: San Andreas on PS2, Xbox and PC.

As ever, no firm figures were released by Chart-Track. Suffice it to say, Modern Warfare 2 has sold “a lot”.

Activision will be looking for another CoD smash with Treyarch’s Black Ops on November 9.

I'd say that is pretty impressive.


This is why UK sales should not count.

Congrats, Infinity Ward. =/



Rockstar: Announce Bully 2 already and make gamers proud!

Kojima: Come out with Project S already!

First of all, congrats to Activision and Infinity Ward for such a huge success. I wonder if they included PC sales as well, since they also seemed to include them when they mentioned GTA: San Andreas.

On the other hand, for a single platform game such as Brain Age to sell that many copies in the UK... it's astounding. I think it'll be a while until another single platform game dethrones it.

The game is trash. I played it for a couple weeks, the campeign is good, but the multiplayer is buggy as heck.
