Thats just crazy.. i mean think about it for a second.. lets say for every copy sold Sony and Microsoft get $10

thats like $10X13million= microsoft getting $130,000,000

$10X10Million= Sony getting 100,000,000

:shock: their both getting massive amounts of money

Well I do not trust any numbers from vgcharts but MW3 is the fastest media product to reach $1 billion so it sold faster then MW2 at least. I have no idea of total numbers but I am just saying it did sell faster then MW2.

VGChartz isn't as inaccurate as people make it out to be. Isn't Modern Warfare 3 the fastest selling game in video game history?

But a ridiculous 4 times as fast?

It's not impossible, but the numbers are so out fo this world that I'll wait for ACTUAL numbers and not estimates before woryring about it.

And the funny thing is if you took a poll of the die hard cod fans if they regret their purchase I would say at least a 3rd would want their money back

Because many of us like playing the game, we were not expecting such an awful broken game... black ops had ZERO hacks and MAJOR exploits, since release MW3 has had TONS...in its 1st week there were hacked lobbies..

After black ops which was a VERY good game aside from second chance we had high expectations

Activision should just make their own console and have Call of Duty as an exclusive. That would ship consoles like mad.

Remember when the hot topic last year around September and October was whether or not Battlefield 3 would outsell Modern Warfare 3? I don't know about everyone else, but I couldn't help but laugh at those topics. It wasn't just here, major publications like Game Informer had articles predicting that BF3 would outsell Modern Warfare 3. I knew it never even had a chance. MW3 seriously outsold BF3 10 to 1? Lol, that is crazy.

You always see people say that sales and quality are directly correlated. X game isn't any good because it didn't sell well, or X game is the best because just look at the sales. I like Modern Warfare 3, but I don't consider it the best game of all time.

I actually like the MW gameplay, but MW3 was a disappointment in balancing of weapons and map design -- the very core of the game.

PC version is also infested with hackers.

I already regret my purchase that was 50% off.

Yeah this is exactly why all these devs should just stick to their own formula and stop trying to copy COD. COD is selling at a level that no one can touch...not even the mighty Halo. COD could have a "down" year and still outsell all its competitors by a long shot. BF3 sold very well which is bad news if you want them stop noobing up the formula, but it still didnt sell half of what MW3 has sold.

[QUOTE="syztem"]Gamers are the minority now. Developers pander to the masses to max profit.

The "masses" can't be gamers? What is with this superiority complex people on this forum have? Activision is a business providing a product people clearly enjoy and are willing to invest time and money in... is there a problem? Is it because it is popular, and you can't enjoy it that you need to lash out at others who have a different opinion on what is fun? I've had more fun playing MW3 online in the past week than I had with most games I played last year. And I've put more time into it than most of them as well (and I haven't even touched the campaign yet; though, I need to play MW/MW2 first). It is a similar experience to what I played on the PC with the first one... but it has evolved into a much more hectic, action-focused experience that is a lot of fun, especially with friends. Not to mention, it has my GF not only playing a dual-analogue game (she always wrote them off because she wasn't patient enough to learn) but has her enjoying herself immensely. She also went online with me a couple nights ago. I'm glad I stepped out of this "hardcore gamer" mindset and appreciate fun games. It makes the hobby more of a hobby, and less a full-time job that just causes stress and frustration.

Why? Does them being exclusive mean they are better games than multiplats?
