Xbox 360 Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 sells more than PS3 so far

Posted Nov 12, 2009 at 3:50PM EST by Mabie A.

Listed in: PS3, Xbox 360 Tags: Activision, playstation 3 updates

We do know that Modern Warfare 2 (Xbox 360, PS3, and PC) made some record-breaking debut all over the world. But it sure would be even more interesting to know which version of the said title raked in more dough for the franchise. According to Dennis Durkin of Interactive Entertainment Business, the Xbox 360 has sold double than the PS3 thus far.

Said the COO, "Initial feedback from retailers is that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 [on Xbox 360] has outsold the PS3 2:1." He also noted that the launch day of the game also became the busiest day of the Xbox Live. According to his report, over two million simultaneous users were online at a given time.

Congratulations again, Activision. You definitely have a golden hit on your hands.

360 has always had the lead when it came to multiplatform shooters as it offers a better online experience through xbox live and majority of the gamers are shooter fans/gamers.

Mind you, I only have a ps3 so before the flames from fanboys come into play, I'm going to have to say that what I have just said has some context and are plainly the facts about the subject.

you did get flamed. its aight i brought your stars back up. He's only saying the truth people. Don't be a freaking fanboy. I'm good with my Uncharted 2 for now.

# lol — pookiepoo 2009-11-12 19:00

Well they have to get a break from halo sometime ;D PS3er's have probably been distracted with all the other fabolous games that have come out

# I agree! — mastershane 2009-11-12 19:45

"360 has always had the lead when it came to multiplatform shooters as it offers a better online experience through xbox live and majority of the gamers are shooter fans/gamers."

It's pretty obvious that the 360 is going to sell the most units. It has by far the best online play mechanics.

I own the PS3 only because my best friend has it and well, it's free online. I mean the only time the PS3 really shines are on exclusive titles, that's basically it.

But none the less, MW2 is an incredible game no matter what! Keep on fraggin' people! >:)

This thread is just to fuel the console war.

# agreed — f31j 2009-11-12 20:18

it really is no big surprise that xbox 360 scored more. I don't even know why these articles are still being posted for. It's like how FF VIII comes out, probably ps3 will outsell 360 because that's the sort of fanbase playstation was built on while 360 is build on shooting games.

# ! — HIDEO KOJIMA 2009-11-12 20:33

My friends grabbed the PS3 Hardened, opened it up, played for 2 days, used the Classic Code, sent his wife to GameCrazy and told them that there was something wrong with the disc, they gave her a brand new SEALED Hardened Edition, he went back the next day and switched it for the 360 Hardened. Noob employee did the exchange, worker was supposed to switch out the disc, not exchange all together. All in all, he said he made a mistake by getting the PS3 version, but he did get a free game out of it.

# MW2 is better on 360 — h1web 2009-11-12 20:39

MW2 is better on 360. boobies. MW2 is better on PS3. boobies.

# @ f31j — HIDEO KOJIMA 2009-11-12 20:40

I'll have to agree and disagree. The PS3 version of FF"XIII" will outsell the 360 version, but not because of fanbase, but because of the Japan where there are more PS3 owners than 360 owners and that the PS3 version is only on one disc instead of multiple discs that can be found on the 360.

# @HIDEO KOJIMA — Freya 2009-11-12 20:48

nah man. theres still more 360 units in the NA. you have to see what the sales are for NA/Europe.

its a given the ps3 will outsell the 360 in japan....because its ps3 exclusive there.

# LOL — fearlubu 2009-11-12 21:43

@ the MW2 and/or 360 fanboys thumbing down everyone

@KOJIMA: LOL dood thats f***ing tight!

# @mastershane — VashioKun 2009-11-12 21:49

I hope you mean by 'best' referring to consoles.

# PS3 vs 360 — TheJoker 2009-11-12 22:06

i have it for both consoles. PRestige for the PS3. and, also the MW2 bundle. i personally think the game look better on the ps3. i know all the 360 fanboys are gonna flame me for it.

# hmm — slash_th 2009-11-12 22:07

I think the only reason 360 is doing better cause it had a HUGE Head start before PS3 really started to fly, yes x-box is a little better for ITS DLC packages with certain games "GTA4" to name one of a good amount.

PS3 JUST Started to raise up people, give it time.. PS3 will surpass 360s solely for the fact that soon people are gonna get pissed off about the 100 bucks a month for XBL time.

Plus PS3 is getting some 'exclusive' content from gta4 as well, Microsoft has a "Time based exclusivity" with some games that are one the ps3 as well.

No i'm not a PS fan boi, save your flames. i just felt like the 360 had like a kid feeling to it.. which is why you do hear kids over xbl games -cough-halo3-cough-

# ISN'T IT OBVIOUS??? — T-Max Blaze 2009-11-12 22:25

MW2 sells so much on the Xbox 360 because of those biased commercials showing ONLY the Xbox logo @ the end and then the MW2 xbox limited edition. This makes consumers think it's only for the 360 let alone how much microsoft loves FPS games. Sadly (This may sound fanboyish, but it is true. Don't be immature and flame me.) MW2 actually beats out all X360 exclusives in sales, quality, grade, popularity, you name it.

On the other hand, MW2 has less sales on the PS3 b/c ppl are ocupied with either Uncharted 2 or Demon's Souls which makes MW2 on ps3 an option. MW2 sits right beside the best of the ps3 lineup.

# ... — papajag 2009-11-13 00:09

It's not just the commercials. They want the system that has the best version. Many people know that multiplat games run better on the 360. The PS3 version of MW2 sucks so much. WTF is up with the invites and crappy patches.

Assassin's Creed's commercials have all been PS3 versions I'm going to guess that it might sell better on the PS3.

# pft — balkanboy 2009-11-13 01:28

IW is dead to me and to alotttttttt of PC users even tho i do have a ps3 but when i comes to FPS im a hardcore player not gonna pay for a stupid port and YES I AM GLAD FOR THE GUYS THAT RELEASED A HACK FOR PC MW2 IWNET IS A COVERUP OF SAYING WE DID PORT THE GAME! waiting for RELOADED to release there version....pre-ordered bad company 2 next.

# lol — vizard00 2009-11-13 02:19

guys open your eyes , this game is not Call of duty , its all bugs and glitches . stop noobing

some horible problems

1 - bad weapons textures and models

2 - bad squad AI " free for all " :)

3 - bad enemy AI " pac man "

4 - The level design is missed " lol get to the leader on the kitchen , wow CP have MCdonalds Map "

5 - no lean control " show your body to shoot "

6 - no MP i mean real MP with M4s

too many ADS and remurs about a game like this !! and they said it will be the game of the year , why?! for the story , or the GFX or the game play , i dont see why

IW aim money

1 - no demo , to test this *****

2 - no ( im tired to speak about it you know Dedi*** serv***)

3 - and taking out Lean control to feat the console version

4 - and i forget the grenade efect of noobing

i think officialy COD is now a dead series , and i dont see how they will get trusted again ,

BASTARDS IW , screw you

# .... — Silver-Tiger 2009-11-13 02:27

of course FFXIII on PS3 will outsell 360s version. By far. Do you actually know how many people boughta PS3 just for that game? It will outsell the 360s versions on all major regions, including America. We don't even know if sony plans a bundle with FXIII, which I predict to be coming.

i think it could be the same ratio as MW2 has to 360 and PS3.

# .... — Silver-Tiger 2009-11-13 02:29

I doubt the sales of AC2 willl be higher on PS3. You can actually see the approximate sales on the preorder charts. AC2 on 360 is higher.

Piss off, there is nothing Wrong with this game you *****ing Wong

There is nothing noobish about grenades or anything, actually I've seen less Grenade kills because they are harder to use now... AND ONE OF THEM STICKS TO PEOPLE! Seriously if you think a Game that sold over 5 MILLION Copies is a ***** game than you are obviously 1 in a Million *****tards. And all of us see clearly.

# GAH! — DjToke 2009-11-13 06:03

DAmn Xflop T^T

Meh its all about taste... people want the Cheaper Console

Plus every twelve year old in america is on XBL ( thank the Heavens )

# @portable — kupomogli 2009-11-13 06:24

Actually it can. It just takes much more effort to pirate on the PS3 as you have to remove the front of your PS3 and solder an on/off switch to the part of the disc drive that pulls in a disc.

Any burnt game can be played, and if you have a 60gb or old 80gb PS3, even imports.

That being said, it's very hard to do so not many people have done it most likely. To burn PS3 games you'd also need a bluray burner.

# no — vizard00 2009-11-13 06:55

5 million player ripped . the quality of COD 6 and less and dont worth to be compared to COD4 , the curse of fast game creation ,

remember how

Rainbow six series dead

need for speed dead

noobs and who play with pad will notice the garbage , but in PC its doesnt worth the name of COD6 ,

MW2 could be A COD4 DLC or episode .

u know what i dont care , ill shoot donw all my consoles for 2 mounth just to forget all this .

waiting 3 years for a money scam .

# Yeah... — president2038 2009-11-13 07:32

I kinda agree with what most of the people of have been saying. The only reason that I can see that more people are buying the game for 360 is:

A) Gamestop commercials for MW2 are completely biased towards (as in the entire commercial is exclusively about) the 360 version. Good job on another hollow publicity stunt, M$.

B) The majority of PS3 owners that I know of are still playing Uncharted 2 or Demon's Soul. Not trying to put down 360 owners with this one, just saying that while you guys were waiting for this to hit the shelves, we've been busy.

C) and, of course, the trophy/matchmaking problem. Honestly, this is what's keeping ME away from MW2 right now (that, and Uncharted 2). Of course, that's FOR NOW. I hadn't really planned on getting it at launch anyway, so honestly IMO it's worth waiting for.

For those who can't stand to wait a few weeks until all of the bugs are worked out, this is apparently not an option. However, that being said, despite the claim that the 360 version sales are 2:1 over PS3 version sales, I can honestly say that I expect overall unit sales for the PS3 version to catch up over the next two weeks. That'll give the Gamestop 360 exclusive hype time to die down, PS3 owners the chance to get as much out of the games they already had prior to this "exciting" launch, and by then the PS3 MW2 will be running and looking just as good, if not better than, the 360 MW2.

# no — vizard00 2009-11-13 07:52

beter never i tested this game , the ripp of the year , the worst game of the year , keep playing unsharted , and save money for GOD of war and GT5 , thats the last hope to enjoy video games in 2010 , but MW2 is just game to sell , with holly ads and no demo , and a lot of bugs . trust me keep the image of COD4 on your mind , bcz if you play COD MW2 youll the series and youll stop playing COD like me .

# vizard00 — adz1990 2009-11-13 08:08

I think I speak for all of QJ when I say this: Learn to f***ing spell and use grammar you retard.

Fair enough, have your say, but learn how to use English.

# adz — sony_player 2009-11-13 08:40

Nicely put!

# wtf? — skidz 2009-11-13 09:46

"Congratulations again, Activision."

Congratulate Infinity Ward maybe? Not the publisher that did nothing!

# @HIDEO KOJIMA — ackeejag 2009-11-13 11:49

Well considering the game is ps3 exclusive in Japan I think we can ignore Japan's sales when comparing the ps3 and 360 version of XIII in America. That said, the ps3 version will still sell better.

# Eh.. — symbyosis 2009-11-13 14:33

Praising IW only would only further lead to more mindless ramblings about how IW are better than Treyarch and how IW are better than everyone and such...I think praising activision as a whole is the best idea.

# activision paid metacritic — vizard00 2009-11-14 02:52

Breaking news :

http://www.metacritic.com hase been paid by ACTIVISION to remove all 0 to 3 rating from reviews to rise the use score from 1.5 to 8.5 .

# YEP!! — PT-X 2009-11-14 05:31

agreed with u uncharted is sure an gud game for the PS3!!!

COD MW2 is gud to cuz i play to XD...... omg first day its like we all suck with COD MW2... trying weapons out and stuff !! :)

I found my weapon!!! its the old M4 XD!!!! and barett sniping rifle!!! I pwn with snipe XD

# MW2!!! — PT-X 2009-11-14 05:37

Dude the only pwnsome platform is!!! PC!!!!

PC owns with shooting game!!! console can suck on it.

console are for fighting game and some gud rpg.

Lets say if the PC would go agains PS3 and 360!

in team deathmatch! Who would win?? win haha

Flame on me fanboys u all suck... for being retard like hell no PS3 is better!! No 360 pwn!!! PC is the best LOL (-_-#)

c'mon they all awesome in their own ways.

For me the best thing is my girl and not digital bullcrap, cyberbull*****....

# So — StainlessSteve 2009-11-14 12:16

I'm sure I'm not the only one, but I you don't make any *****ing sense. All I really got out of it is that you're a picky graphics whore and I think you hate console shooters.

It's not IW that's the money grubbing idiots, go talk to Neversoft or EA sports for that conversation. MW2 is an extremely good game both on and offline with more tweaks and improvements than your fanboy eyes can see.

Oh yeah, and it's not called Call of Duty 6, retard.

# haha — Master Chef 2009-11-14 13:37

I remember when I asked them about it, they told me the Prestige edition is only on Xbox 360 AND only available at Gamestop. Two blatant lies, right to my face... I just walked out

# um lol? — Master Chef 2009-11-14 13:46

There is nothing wrong with this game, cry moar. Most everything in this game is improved over COD4

# Well actually I partially take that back — Master Chef 2009-11-14 18:16

After I looked into it a little bit, there really is tons wrong with the PC version. No dedicated servers, games capped at 9v9 when COD used to do like 64 players (or more I can't remember), no mod support, and no lean function like you said. Those are all things I expect in a PC game... but, I bought the X360 version, so I really don't care :)

You're still an idiot tho haha

# lol... — Freya 2009-11-15 11:52

You musn't have played the PC version yet. The PC version SUCKS. No joke.

# I totally aggree — BryanNitro 2009-11-15 12:21

You know how many times I heard "*****er" being said on the Xbox 360 from some 12 year old in there fathers den drinking Fanta orange soda and texting to there pre prepubescent friends how I said the word "*****er"

# So Far I cant tell the difference between PS3 and Xbox — BryanNitro 2009-11-15 12:24

I mean I can join what ever game my friends are playing I can make parties and have voice chat xbox is in trouble.

# whats the buzz about...OMG another FPS....not interested — houaruto 2009-11-15 17:02

as big as the hype is out there for FPS after playing it for a few hours and learning the controls and doing a few runs it doesn't feel much different from any other FPS out there already..............good thing I'm not buying it

I'll stick to Ninja Gaiden 2, Demon Souls, and Uncharted 2

# yup — yaoitaru 2009-11-16 19:34

I downloaded the game.

Works great with the Autoboot disc for 1.6

Haven't logged onto LIVE for like 4 months tho. Waiting for that new firmware to stealth us up!

# yep — nickelwise 2009-11-18 12:06

i have a 360 and a ps3 and i bought the 360 version so i could actually paly online with people that i know. no one else has a ps3 who i know.
