Activision Has High Expectations for Modern Warfare 2
Activision wants Modern Warfare 2 to be the biggest selling game of all time. Brand manager Simon Wells had this to say:
“We want to propel this year’s title to be the biggest selling video game of all time. That may raise some eyebrows, but step back and look at the franchise’s trajectory through preceding launches, and this objective starts to look viable.”
He also added:
“We firmly believe we have the potential to be the No.1 entertainment property of the year. The reality for a franchise as large as Call of Duty is that we are competing directly with entertainment propositions outside of the video game space.”
Modern Warfare 2 will be launching this November on the PlayStation 3. Stay tuned on PlayStation LifeStyle for all the details on this exciting new shooter.

What is he saying that they are competing with Dancing with the Stars or Amazing Race… The game will be good and it will sell many copies but his main competition is his own words…. The only way that his words come true is that a lot of people agree with him and buy the game and tell their friends and their friends etc etc etc….
I have always liked games based on historical facts like the weapons and buildings and tactics so this is a good sell now maybe they should move the franchise into more modern territory. With true life weapons and machinery and scenarios…
And then there is the final Battle Royal….. ARMAGEDON
Too bad he’s talking about money before game play, always a bad sign. I’m burnt out on playing Army, but I’m sure it will sell just fine to the masses.
I like cod but when people talk like this it makes me not want to buy the game
people will buy just cause its cod even if its a terrible game like WAW
atleast MLG are working with them this time
