Modern Warfare 2 to sell 17-18 million in 12 months, analyst predicts
BY Rain Anderson Oct. 25th, 2009 More on:Michael PachterModern Warfare 2

While he doesn’t believe Infinity Ward’s Modern Warfare 2 will become the biggest selling game ever, Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter predicts it will sell through 14 million copies in the holiday quarter this year, and 17 to 18 million in its first year.

“Last year sold about 8 million in the Christmas quarter, I think most people think this will do 10-12. It really depends on marketing — if they blitz the airwaves and we see ads on every basketball game, football game, college football game, every beauty pageant … maybe 14,” Pachter said in the latest episode of GT’s Bonus Round. “And how many will it sell in a 12-month period? Maybe 17 or 18 … but over 20 million, that’s just hard to do.”

“If we penetrate 25% of 360 and PS3 owners, we’re only talking about 12 million units, that’s the problem. So for this thing to do more, it’s gotta have a better attach rate than GTA San Andreas did. That’s likely, but double the attach rate? No way.”

No way.

4 million MAXIMUM on PS3
8 million MAXIMUM on 360

And I doubt it will sell that much this year.

I hate it when you say the PS3 will suck half as much as the Xbox 360.



Tease.

Recession anyone? Games aren't really selling like that this year, which is noteworthy particularly considering the larger install bases. Look at ODST compared to say Gears of War 2. Recession. Sorry, Pacht.

By Dec 31?

I'd give it 10 million at the max to be honest.

It makes sense. Most of the FPS competition was delayed making it THE FPS to buy this Christmas holidays. Every COD MW player will get this for Christmas. Either as a gift or after with gift cards.

@Kantor

yeah I dunno HOW it will outsell gTA4 within 3 months on PS360!

that sounds ludicrous!

@people saying "by dec 31?"

well what does the end of holidays mean.....Dec 31....so yeah "by dec 31"
