Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare from Activision - Image 1 


Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (Xbox 360, PS3, PC) has been getting great reception left and right as evidenced by Arvind Bahtia's findings. Bahtia, analyst from Stern Agee & Leach, observes that the title - which was already expected to do well - is outperforming expectations judging from sales.

Bhatia comments that the game has received "nothing but positive comments" regarding the graphics, mechanics and overall quality of the game. He also found that the game is not only selling well but stores are actually running out of supplies:

At most, a few copies were available at approximately 10% of the stores. Retailers also indicated they expected to continue to sell out of the title in the near term as new shipments arrive.


Bhatia concludes that the game will drive sales through the holidays and may even drive up the firm's quarterly estimates for Activision. Todd Greenwald of Nollenberger Capital Partners also recently stated that Call of Duty 4 may even outperform Halo 3. At this point, who knows?
