MW2 makes a crushing $550 million in 5 days at retail

[QUOTE="Crossel777"][QUOTE="SpruceCaboose"] Funny way to die, making all that money.Kashiwaba

Exactly what a bad times we are living in good games are struggling to sell and rehashs are selling like hot cakes.

All 550 million dollars of this game's sales were given to it by mindless sheeple who follow the franchise blindly and will buy whatever's tossed at them, and I have the full right to say this as I am instantly higher minded and more intelligent than these millions of people that I'm pretentiously calling out on their stupidity. I also hate my dad and can't win a fight with my fat wife.

Fun if you lack taste or maybe it's just addictive. Either way it doesn't deserve $550 million of sales. It's just CoD4 copy and pasted.

[QUOTE="SpruceCaboose"] So now they are dumb because they have different opinions than you do on games? Way to be accepting of other people's opinions at the same time that you are belittling others....ChrisJ2004

Well, I'm not going to sit here and say that Mcdonalds is good, tasty and healthy food just because of the milions and milions of fat americans, that stuff their mouth full of Mcdonalds products everyday.

McDonalds is far more popular in other countries than America. My God, just look at Japan. McDonald's practically owns Japan.

10 dollar movie tickets vs 60 dollar games, great comparison!

Rehashes always will sell better than new and original games will sell less...and watch the next modern warfare game will cost 65+ for the pc and 75+ for the consoles...joy...the_ChEeSe_mAn2

I gladly pay that, Modern warfare is one of the best fps ever when it come to singleplayer, love it so much :D

People have to chill out about MW2 ruining gaming. Sure they took out a lot of features that PC gamers like me really want (so I didn't buy the game). All in all though it's a well made game. The campaign is solid, the online is good. It's a solid game.

It shows what the consumers want. If you want to compare it to movies; huge action movies make hundreds of millions of dollars. Those great artsy alternative games that some of you complain aren't selling are just like the great artsy movies that don't do well at the box office. It's the same thing everywhere not just gaming.

3hours? it took me around 6hours+ to complete Mw2 singleplayer, and multiplay add up even more. I prefer 6hours awesome gameplay over a 20hours+ game that is boring.

lol what a wise old sage we have on our hands! all those people of inferior intellect for buying a game. what a bunch of idiots. if only you produced some kind of leaflet we could distribute to tell people what games 'smart' people play, our world would be a better place.

you are either

a) under 13 years old

b) a typical high school or university student who has already figured out how the world works by reading some pretentious books

c) extraordinarily out of touch with reality

dont bother arguing because i wont see it, and i know im right

also to the guy who said mcdonalrds practically owns japan, when i was in russia there was like a mcdonalds holding down every block. it was crazy

Whats next for COD

70 dollars each

A monthly fee for peer to peer match making

Mandatory and Costly DLC

It will happen. They have already confirmed Pay to Play.

Average FPS is average.

Just goes to show that sales aren't a measure of quality. I mean, good Lord, Twilight puts up huge numbers. Just means that it's popular, not quality literature.

So much for the big PC gamer ban of MW2

[QUOTE="Crossel777"][QUOTE="SpruceCaboose"] Funny way to die, making all that money.SpruceCaboose

Yeah, the Wii is the top selling console, MW2 is the top selling game, great for gaming...

If it werent for the swearing i would have already posted videos of what is 90% of MW2 and Halo fanbase.Drakes_Fortune

I think Xbox 360 outsold PS3 3 to 1 or something like that. MS must be making mad profits on licensing fees. Wow!

Haters can call this game a rehash all day long, but it's AAA, and has broke records, well done IW :)Racer850

I do not plan on purchasing the game but I do congratulateInfinity Ward with thesuccess.

Awesome! :D I hope Activision sells their next game for $70, and I hope that they make a killing with that one as well, and then I hope that every other developer takes notes and they begin to sell their games for $70 as well. :Dtagyhag

yeah and i hope this wakes other publishers/developers up to the fact that consumers have been wanting, for years, to pay extra to unlock content that is already on the disc. its about time someone thought of that.

(yes, it's sarcasm)

How disappointing. Well, you should never have faith in the gullible masses.rcignoni

especially after wii got popular

I need to buy this soon

Sad, proof that huge marketing and hype can sell crap and people will still buy it.dont-read-this

Apparently "crap" is being nominated for GOTY

Wow, crazy numbers. Thats awesome, though I hate to see Activision make so much money. Love IW tho. Well its a great game, and it sold great. Job well done. And all the haters need to grow up. A 94 metascore says its amazing. And millions agree.

You thought GTA IV was huge, didn't you?

The haters are owned, and all those that never thought it would break records are put to shame.

Also, The Dark Knight, Harry Potter, Twilight and every other entertainment things that thought they were big, they have been owned...

Well done, Infinity Ward!

I couldn't help but laugh in agreement. I enjoy the game, but it would have benefited from dedicated servers and such.
