@ioi

but how!



Well the 360 version already has more than 650k pre-orders, MW 1 only had 750k first week



@munkeh111

so what?

Its a brand now sow ill initially have huge sales, but the legs will be bad compared to MW1



Why? WaW had good legs as well, but worse than MW 1 because it was not as good. Though many people have not moved from MW 1 to WaW, nearly everyone on the old CoDs will move on, of course not everyone from WaW will move on, but don't expect it to see it on the top 4 on Live next year. MW 1 is still selling, and everyone who got that game is going to move to MW 2, why wouldn't they?

I've learned never to trust someone who says "Trust me"

Trust me on that one.




Edit Double Post



Keep in mind that Call of Duty 4 came out in 2007 which had probably the most crowded holiday line-up ever. There will be no such competition this year as a lot of big titles have been pushed to Q1-Q2 2010



Sales flop if you genuinely believe it'll be the best selling game this gen/ever.

Otherwise, no.



I don't see a reason why it should sell for a bigger audience than COD4.
