Forums - Sales - MW2 Sells BETTER than Expected on PS3, IW Adding Servers to meet MP Demand!


Judging by Infinity Ward's Creative Strategist Robert Bowling and his recent twitter post, the PS3 servers were originally not enough to meet demand. Which leaves me to wonder, was Infinity Ward not expecting the game to be this big on the Playstation 3? I mean they did after all proclaim their title as the potential "highest selling game of all time". Did they expect to achieve such a milestone without selling copies on the Playstation 3? Did they think PS3 owners were just gonna play offline splitscreen matches and LAN games, completely neglecting the main reason everyone is buying this game, the online multiplayer?

Okay, enough with the questions! The situation is a little less emotional for me, as I simply can go play my 360 version of the game as I please. I do, however, feel bad for the PS3 only owners who are currently sitting at the Modern Warfare 2 main menu waiting for servers to be added. I find it ridiculously hilarious when the developers of these Tripe A titles, especially the ones that have an unprecedented amount of hype, become so surprised when a lot of people buy their game. Are they expecting to have shitty sales or just being extremely humble and thinking their sales will be respectable but not through the roof?

Damnit, I did say enough with the questions didn't I? Ah SHIT!

Want a better look at the Twitter post. LOOK BELOW

but ofcourse no PS3 game has done the numbers this is doing right now, so even they couldn't anticipate such HUUUUGE DEMAND!

The number of sales is simply ludicrous... The game is simply amazing though



Amazing game, well deserved numbers.



@munkeh111

I know it is ludicrous

But it won't have legs like GTA:SA did

@kamal

sorry....but why?

The future for PS3 is multiplayer heavy games to go with their free online services.



I'm a little upset right now at the lack of online servers. At least they're fixing it though.



Due to them adding servers, I couldn't play online all day when I had a day off.

Now I got Philosophy and Economics to look forward to.
