Forums - Microsoft - Will MW2 cause 360 to sell 300,000+ its launch week?

nope



Around the Network

I think a "hell no" would be in order here.



I actually posted the wrong commercial before. Even though it does allude to Modern Warfare 2 Junior which must be the fictional Wii equivalent.

Here's the right commercial.

 





Toughie. My initial instinct is no, but clearly, unless it's just for general exposure and PR, MS seems to think differently, really getting behind MW2 with bundles, advertising, etc.

Now, in theory the title will sell to more than the existing base, but I find it hard to believe it's going to pull in that many new players, hence my reluctance to expect anything more than a mild bump driven by the bundles, but on the other hand MS are clearly making such a big play that I could see 360 picking up a more than modest bump in US / UK - assuming there are enough additional consumers out there without a 360 who want MW2.



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...

Probably not, but it will cause a boost to 360 sales.

Nope. Everyone already posted the reasons. The Wal-Mart ad annoys me, how is it the best??? Because of a bundle?

@chocolo: I should let you know I work for child protective services j/k well, I mean I do work for them but you get the humor I hope.


       It will be the best because as with most Western multi-plats, the PS3 version will not run as well as the 360 version.  The 360 version will have better graphics, less graphical glitches, and run better all the way around.

 

     I would question how it is better than the pc version more, but 360 does have Live, achievements, and exclusive dlc.

The PC version will have Steam achievements and the map packs are only timed exclusive and will be on all platforms eventually.

The problem with the PC version is that it's worse than MW1, that's the only problem I see, it's still going to play better than console versions of course, but MW1 is the worst competitor to MW2 atm because of what they are doing on the PC version.



probably not

but then againw e thought Uncharted 2 wouldn't sell systems

however EU will ensure PS3 wins that week too

the gap in EU is A LOT between 360 & PS3 (weekly gap)



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

Aha ha ha, HELL NO :D

It will boost X360 sales but not THAT much (maybe up to 200k).



No. Halo:ODST only boost 15% with only one halo series (Halo Wars not FPS) on X360. There were 4 COD released since X360 launch. I'm sure it will boost about 40-50% system but not as high as 300k. Maybe will almost equal with PS3 sales but not outsold it.



no it's gna sell 1 million xbox 360's in 1 day :O
