I am not sure if this impacts your post or not, but the source of this information is Microsoft not Activision. You see, your thread title indicates that the source of this statement is Activision, but the actual article clearly states that Dennis Durkin of MS is making these claims. Your thread is as misleading as are most statements originating from Microsoft.

Nobody doubts that MW2 will sell more units on the 360, but let's not post MS standard PR speak as fact.

also, the way the article is written i got the impression that it's a 2-1 sales in america/uk not WW.

So this isn't Activision, just Microsoft?

If so, this is Microsoft comparing MW2 sales between PS3 and 360 only when it comes to the two territories the 360 is strongest in?

Also, how do they know PS3 sales? Just curious here.

i'm pretty sure that MS/Sony/Nintendo all have internal sales estimates even in regard to their competitors.  it is always useful to know what the current trends are even if you aren't the one setting it.

You're most likely right. That was a pretty dumb question by me now that I think about it.

who didnt expect this?

Not surprising. X360 always sell more FPS than PS3 (mostly almost doubled) . If KZ2 is X360 exclusive it might sell 4.5 million already. X360 is just very good choice console for FPS's lover. Let see the trends for both exclusive and multiplat FPS for each platform.

Exclusive

X360
Halo 3 - 10.33 million
GOW 1 - 5.92 million
GOW 2 - 5.31 million
Halo:ODST - 3.29 million
L4D - 2.47 million

PS3
Resistance:FOM - 3.63 million
KZ2 - 2.04 million
Resistance 2 - 1.69 million
Socom - 0.91 million
Haze - 0.71 million


Multiplat

MW
X360 - 7.90 million
PS3 - 4.74 million

COD:WAW
X360 - 5.96 million
PS3 - 3.66 million

Battlefield:Bad Company
X360 - 1.2 million
PS3 - 0.71 million

MW2 might end up selling 65% on X360 and 35% for PS3

No shit sherlock!

This kinda expected. 360 = Shooters crowd.
I just want to see on how well it does on the PS3 and how many it sold on both console first week.
