First off let me start off by saying...This game WILL have massive sales no matter what Happens...But it could have done much, much more if Activision knew how keep their mouths shut, and to keep the CONSUMER in mind before making a pricing decision.

A few weeks before the Slim announcment Activision came out and publicly said

"If sony doesnt announce a PS3 Pricecut soon we will have to consider development outside Sony Consoles."

And not long after that, they went out and told everyone,

"Hey we're pushing the price of MW2 up on all platforms!" (54.99 in the UK...Thats around $90 USD)

And of Course...M.A.G.

Theres a few things wrong Here...

Activision left themselves open to embarrasment, and Sony capitalized when they announced the PS3 Slim along with a $100 pricecut for all current PS3 models whilst simultaneously some Sony Representatives have gone on record saying M.A.G. will go down as the definitive shooter of this Generation, an obvious shot at the Call of Duty franchise...

M.A.G. Will also launch at a price of 59.99 USD ($30 cheaper than MW, And a probable Headset along with it):--- This is not good forMW2 on the PS3 front...Many sony fans didnt appreciate Acti's words against the PS3, and has been one-up'd in every way by Sony's M.A.G. (With the exception of a slight graphics edge)

Now dont get me wrong, COD MW2 will still sell incredibly good on all platforms...but it could have done so much better, if they would have played their cards right...particularly in Europe.
