Modern Warfare 2 is the GTA of this gen. 14 million copies on PS360 alone.

It by itself made 2009 a mediocre year for gaming, because all other big games xcept for Assassin's Creed II chose to go for 2010 in fear of Modern Warfare 2.

True that it's gonna be massive, and probably a very good game.  I also think that Uncharted 2 is going to be so good, and do so well, that sales for Uncharted 2 will really surprise, even though it wasn't pushed back to avoid MW2. 

The great online component makes me think that U2 is a worthy PS3 competitor to MW2 in terms of people wanting to buy it and play the shit out of the online because it's so robust.  (I'm not saying U2 > MW2 PS3 in sales, though).

Yeah, Uncharted 2 will sell between 4 and 5 million copies lifetime.

Competitive between 360 and PS3, sure. Neither system is touchin the Wii.



Bet between Slimbeast and Arius Dion about Wii sales 2009:


If the Wii sells less than 20 million in 2009 (as defined by VGC sales between week ending 3d Jan 2009 to week ending 4th Jan 2010) Slimebeast wins and get to control Arius Dion's sig for 1 month.

If the Wii sells more than 20 million in 2009 (as defined above) Arius Dion wins and gets to control Slimebeast's sig for 1 month.

I expect Wii to easily outsell the competition this holiday season.

@Pineapple: Even World at War outsold Modern Warfare 1 as far as holiday sales goes, so why would you expect Modern Warfare 2 to only sell around as much as its predecessor?
