Modern Warfare 2 Breaks $1 Billion

[Jandau]

You know, it makes me even happier that I didn't buy it. It just feels nice not to be a part of a movement in gaming so huge. I'm the proud, snobby minority!

 

[SnipErlite]

As much as it's impressive I'd like to point out something that has just been stated.

All of that money is in the hands of Bobby Kotick.

Seriously....

I wish for Bad Company 2 to put up a fighting chance.

Yeah, those were my exact thoughts. Well done everyone, there goes new and creative ideas for the next decade

Well, this actually just makes me appreciate EA more.

Sure they dropped Pandemic, but they still have DICE, who still make FPS's that are fun as hell.

Even Battlefield 1943 from last year, even as WW2 games are rightfully dying.

But sadly the 1 Billion dollar mark of MW2 makes me realize even more that...

There will never be a Battlefield 2143...

No BF 2143? Noooooooooooooo!

MW2 was an interesting game, it's just it wasn't very fun.

Oh my god..... Oh. My. GOD.

I'M NOT ALONE!

2142 was great!

I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE

We few...we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition:
And gentlemen in Escaptopia now a-bed
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here...

Why thank'yee ^_^

I knew it was popular but I never guessed it would make a billion dollars. Now if only Mass Effect 2 or Star Wars: The Old Republic was to make that much.

 

[CincoDeMayo]

Shouldn't this also put MW2 on a best seller list?

Oh wait, Nintendo strangely enough counts bundle games as sold copies. (which I find very stupid)

*google-ing*

Well, it doesn't say that much other than that it's surpassed GTA IV in sales, who last time I checked had sold like 12 million copies or so.

 

[Grey_Focks]

all that money, and they still can't be buggered to give the PC dedi servers...

 

[flaming_squirrel]

With all that money they could at least spend a short while to FIX THE FUCKING MULTIPLAYER, but no, too busy with the DLC to actually do some proper work.

 

[Jharry5]

Well, the first thing I thought when I heard how popular MW2 had got was:

Just how the hell are they going to top that?
They've set the bar very high for themselves, and could well crumble under the weight of their own hype for MW3...

 

[Takoto]

We all knew it would happen, since the day it came out copies of MW2 have been selling like hot-cakes.

 

[Paragon Fury]

Hmmm....which means, according to statistics, IW has made about $300 million off the game, give or take.


For all that success, thats nota lot of money to divvy up amongst a development team.

 

[Jark212]

making it still less successful than Avatar.

I giggled there...

I cringe whenever i hear those two words

 

[Orzene]

Wow.. I haven't bought the game, looked at the gameplay, and am completely apathetic to the franchise and realistic shooters as a whole.... Gawd I feel old. :\

And you dig up a 10 month thread why?
