Why?

Because:

1: It's a first person shooter. There are already enough of those.

2: It's made by Activision, and if it will succed, they will milk the franchise even harder.

3: Battlefield-style FPS > CoD-style FPS. I want the more war-like FPS games to take over the genre, this means CoD selling bad, and Battlefield and MAG selling well.

4: Bob Kotick deserves it.

I kinda feel the same, we should  call it cod 2009 rather than mw2, cuz if we are going to get at least 1 cod every year this is easier to keep track.

Since it's the same exact story, i'll use my response:

 

Impossible. It's got a decent chance of doing that for games released in 2009 (though it has fierce competition from Wii Sports Resort and NSMBWii, in all likelihood), but if we discount Wii Sports (which is only fair), it would still be impossible to stand up to other games this generation: Mario Kart Wii, Wii Fit, Wii Play, possibly Grand Theft Auto IV also (though that will be closer in the end), and then it has to beat Titans from the past. No way is it beating Gran Turismo 3, Pokemon Red/Blue, and a few others.



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

Well nothing is impossible..

I think he's basing the "chance" from the amount of preorders (total) and how much time until the game is released.

GameStop sees how many times the game is preordered, daily, even hourly, not to mention the preorders in other stores, and judge by the time until the game is released and come up with a good idea..

I would call Wii Fit an Exercise Program, not a game, but that's just me..

I also will never count Wii Sports (other then the game sold separate) Sales Numbers, it was free with every Wii.

If it was thrown in as a bundle for a few months like other games ya sure if it was for a short time, but from beginning to end, just to show different ways to use Wii Mote Controls.. no..

But again, just MO

1. There can not be enough of a games of a certain genre. Certainly not one so popular. It's not the best game in the genre but it's up there.

2. I doubt they can.. half year releases ? impossiblez

3. That's opinion.  .. but mag needs to sell well. It seems awesome :p

4. I agree.



Check out my game about moles ^

I feel the same way as you guys.I first kinda liked Activision for their games but now they have become what EA was.And yeah they should call it COD 2009 but they won't cause the MODERN WARFARE tag will help it sell more.

@KungKras

I too like the BF series more than COD.Just loved the first Battlefield 1942 and Battlefield 2.Looking forward to BF Bad Company 2.I like the Open World War games more than the action based one's

I just hope they don't make the game real short, or offer few maps and milk DLC..

It's hard to take what you say seriously sometimes, especially with Sega the hedgehog avator above your name.

"To do that, every PS3 and Xbox 360 owner in the US would need to buy a copy."

My system counts as a US sale since that's where I bought it. Same for my brother. We're both not gettting the game, so I guess it's not happening
