"MW2 sells 1mil in 1day"

http://www.destructoid.com/modern-warfare-2-dlc-one-million-served-in-24-hours-170277.phtml

Keep in mind, it's only on the 360 right now.

As much as I dislike MW2, it certainly has a devoted audience.

Edit; apparently, it's sold more than 2.5 mil now.

http://www.joystiq.com/2010/04/07/modern-warfare-2-stimulus-package-sells-over-2-5m-units-in-a-w/

That's better than the clear majority of console exclusives -- it's quickly catching up to the lifetime numbers of Uncharted 2 and Littlebigplanet, and beat the lifetime sales of Killzone 2 in a week.

Wow.

In before the "lol MW2!" and "Who buys this crap?"

Edit: To be on topic though... yeah... that's a lot of money for Activision.

Not surprised, and while I do think it's a bit annoying to see something so highly priced sell so fast, I can't complain either. 15 bucks for maps that will be endlessly replayed till the next MW game, or also just because well... people have spoken with their wallets, and 15 bucks for new maps is the new standard!! :D ...:(

Can't say I'm surprised, 15 bucks isn't much to a lot of people that have been putting countless hours into MW2.

The online is fun but people enjoy it so much they'd actually dish out $15 for a few more stages? Wow.

"There are only two things in this world which are infinite - the universe, and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the universe" - Albert Einstein Seriously wow. Recognize those maps fellas? :lol: I want to see MW fail so badly now that the top 2 studio heads AND the top two designers of IW have departed... but I bet they could release absolute garbage with awful Metacritic ratings and it would take at least 3-4 games to run the franchise into the ground. Just wait guys, in a few years Modern Warfare will be a pimped-out joke like Tony Hawk and Guitar Hero. One the one hand I am happy because it will prove that Activision are a horrible influence on the industry, and sad because a once-great franchise is just a whore.

It's not surprising that it sold so well on 360. It'll be a flop on PC for sure.

Even if every member of the SW community boycotted MW2 and its DLC, it wouldn't make much of a difference.

And cows paid 25 quid for a demo :roll: Lemme guess, if this doesnt sell as well on the PS3, it'll be because PS3 players are smarter right? No way could it be down to the lower install base or lower sales of the game.

Might as well go ahead spend $20 on a game like Dead Space if you're going to spend $15 on 5 maps. Seriously, I hate casuals and they are going to make the industry worse and worse.

It outsold most 360 exclusives, too. It probably outsold more than 75% of PS3 exclusives -- I'm tempted to say all but MGS4, as I can't think of any other one that sold 1mil+ in 1day.

http://www.joystiq.com/2010/04/07/modern-warfare-2-stimulus-package-sells-over-2-5m-units-in-a-w/

Now let's make a quick list of what they could have spent the money on instead:

  • Castle Crashers
  • Perfect Dark XBLA
  • Shadow Complex
  • Ikaruga
  • I MADE A GAME WITH ZOMBIES IN IT!!!!
  • Bomberman Live
  • 'Splosion Man
  • Megaman 10
  • Portal: Still Alive

And these sales come only from Xbox Live so far.

I bought the maps for CoD4 and I was disappointed. If i had MW2, I probably wouldn't buy the maps, even though the 2 from CoD4 are actually pretty good maps (I think Overgrown is the best map in CoD4).

but they like MW more, why buy something else when you can get more of what you like?

I'm not trying to insinuate that they should not buy the map pack, but rather they could have possibly gotten their money's worth instead (I don't want to debate value).

For the people that bought this and played CoD4, they are paying $15 for 3 new maps and 2 old maps. If the map pack was either $10 or had 5 completely new maps, then the map pack would be okay. I just believe if someone is going to pay $15 for a map pack not worth it's complete value, then that person should jump for a game instead.

The comparison is fine. It does what it was meant to do: prove the DLC's popularity.

Thats a fail bro. Also that 60$ expansion you say is a AMAZIN deal for those who dont have Halo 3. Also what about that GT5 demo that cost like 40$ or something? yea thats what i call milking.

I hate the fact it sold well cause now they know they can get people for 15 bucks with so littl content. I wouldint be shocked if the next map pack would be 20 bucks. People will cry about it for a little bit,but then give in and buy it.

People arguing the price here don't see the value in it. Naturally I get the reaction, you want things cheap, free, and you don't play MW 2 enough to find value in this. I don't either. I'm not one of those, however those of you who buy $10 or so expansions make me sick too. I am not one who likes to buy for added content, but I get it, you guys see the price. You believe it's not "cheap" and while it's not cheap to make some of these things, I get it. Still, I don't buy it unless I'm interested. Most I paid for any DLC was 5 bucks and it was for RE 5's great DLC IMO of course. So why bash on people for spending money on something they'll probably get more than it's values worth if they continuously play MW 2 online? Don't bash it.

What most people are worried about is that other publishers may raise DLC prices (for content of which the quality is debatable), now that Activision has proved it's a fantastic way of making money.

In my reality of things and educated opinion, once these map packs comes to the PS3 it will also outsell Killzone 2 all over again. Can't say I'm surprise since MW2 is a better game the masses enjoy more then another shooter like Killzone 2.
