Infinity Ward's upcoming FPS Modern Warfare 2 is going to be one of the best selling games of the 2009 Christmas period when it is released in November. However that's not enough for the publisher of the title Activision, who expect it to be the best selling game in history.
"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," Activision's Simon Wells said in an interview with MCV.
He went on to say Modern Warfare 2 could be the "No. 1 entertainment property of the year." Wells concluded with "Plans are being developed to deliver one of the most engaging campaigns of the year.” The game's predecessor, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, has been one of the most successful games this generation, so Activision's hopes may not be that unrealistic.

SpaceSteve said: GTA iv isnt even the best selling gta title. San andreas sold 12 million copies.The Sims 16 million .Super Mario 3, 18 million copies and pokemon on the game boy has sold over 20million. So, are there 20 million next gen consoles in the world and if so will everyone buy a copy of this game? Source: www.gunslot.com/
