Modern Warfare 2 - Image 1 


How much do you think will Modern Warfare 2 (PC, PS3 and Xbox 360) sell in its first week of launch? Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter is of the opinion that it will move a humongous US$ 500 million, most likely more.

Pachter expressed this estimate in his Activision Blizzard Q3 Preview, further adding that on top of that US$ 500 million (at the least), Activision's front-runner for this year will "easily sell 10 million units in Q4 [Oct-Dec]."

Modern Warfare 2 comes out November 10, 2009.

otherwise it just provides more proof that games need not be $60.

but an awesome single player. Such a huge variety of missions between stealth and in an instant switches to all out fire. Plays like a movie. Cinemtatics where you can move the camera from a helicopter ride to a weirdass submarine ride to even u holding on to a satellite in outerspace. Sick ending as well.

then don't click and read the story about the most anticipated FPS this year. Take your flaming somewhere else on the Internet. And 60 bucks, you pay for what you get. And that's quality AND quantity. Think of how many people still play cod4? And if you can't even shell out 60 bucks for a game why the hell did you buy a next gem console in the first place?

Jacking up the price helps. Maybe Bobby Scrotum thinks they can take GTA4s crown by selling their game at 50% more?



(I bought GTA4 on launch day for CDN $50, MW2 will likely be CDN $80 on launch day. Not quite a level playing field.)

proof that IW comercials are greedy ,



10mil and they said "COD mw2 most players are pirates , so we remove dedicated servers ."

the salles will decrease horibly after PC veion release due to players disapointment feed backs about no ((((mods and dedicated servers ))), booried for the lack of dedicated servers and mods , this will be probably result on no community and tournaments , and the worst is that the next COD even if it got fixed , most COD players will find their sefl COLD or playing another game . Batelfield 3 maybe



IW strategy is to make COD a console game , ignoring milions PC gamers , but the result will be the PSPGO story again .

# yesvizard00 2009-11-03 04:10
thats not all , they removed DEDICATED servers and Mods from this games just To ask For FEES on their IWNET servers ,



hope they face the PSPGO story



" PLS guys if like this games and its developers , CANCEL your ORDER

1 - To see a low price so more players

2 - to bring back dedicated srevers more events

3 - to bring back Mods more comunity and fun

4 - to dont be ripped more life for this game

Pachter's comments are so ridiculous it makes me wonder what you need to do to become an "analyst".He goes from blatantly stating the obvious(above) to some outrageous prediction like "Microsoft and Sony to swap consoles in 2012". I swear for these predictions he uses the chicken with its head cut off method from the south park economy episode.MW2 is easily gonna clear 500million dollars



p.s when I initially read the article I thought it said Pachter expects MW2 to sell 500million units....I was like no *****in way : )

You clearly have the assumption that i dont have the money to spend on this game. That is false, I have plenty of funds to buy this game if I chose to. My point is for morons like you to go and blindly buy these games at the experimental prices they pick and dont even change much of the gameplay (infact make it worse on PC) only goes to show they are the shepherds and you are the sheep. Dont assume things you dont know.

# patcher is an idiotPS3 OUTSIDER 2009-11-04 08:31
hes as retarded as that jack guy who threatens to sell his own organs to get the legal costs to ban gta and then he goes back to the institute for a month or so anyway patcher's predictions are always retarded or obvious or something like Christians don't believe in gravity.



either way hes about as useful as a c0ck flavored lollipop.

No one cares that you're not buying MW2, you're just missing out. I don't like the ridiculous prices in Europe or the removal of dedicated servers either, but not buying it won't change anything



I play COD for the single player anyway, really couldn't care less if they went and removed the MP entirely
