Default Modern Warfare 2 is the biggest-selling launch in the history of entertainment.
http://abclocal.go.com/wpvi/story?se...rticle-7115193

Quote:
First-day sales of Activision Blizzard Inc.'s "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" broke records, raking in an estimated $310 million in North America and the United Kingdom alone.

The video game went on sale all over the world on Tuesday, but Activision provided figures Thursday only for North America and Britain. The company estimates that it sold about 4.7 million copies of the game in the first 24 hours in those markets, making it the biggest-selling launch in the history of entertainment.
The latest installment in the "Call of Duty" action franchise was expected to at least match last year's "Grand Theft Auto IV," which was the most successful video game release in history and at the time may have been the top entertainment launch ever.

The guy in that picture just lost any respect I had for him by buying the strategy guide. Who over the age of 12 does that?

I would have said who over the age of 12 dresses like that to go buy a video game.

You lost my respect by making that remark.

I guess that 6 million that the PC could have lost really doesn't matter in the grand scheme.

The biggest-selling launch in the history, yet the biggest PC game let down of the year.

My question is why was every other publisher so anxious to get out of the way of this game this fall. We have games this big come out every year at this time (okay, not quite as big, but still big).
