Activision has no plans for Modern Warfare 2 bundles on PS3

VG247: Activision has told VG247 that there are no plans for a Modern Warfare 2 bundle on PS3.

When asked if there were any bundles including Infinity Ward's shooter in the future, an Activision representative told us: "No, there are no plans, but thank you for asking".

Curiosity got the best of us when MCV asked SCEE if it had any plans for such a bundle and were told: "We've not made any announcements about bundle packs, but will let you know should that change."

[FlipMode]

I didnt think so They no likey Sony
But TGS is coming, lets see if Sony makes some waves

[Megaton]

It's probably a contractual thing at this point. It's what Microsoft did with Resident Evil 5 as well. Exclusive ad rights, custom console, etc. The 360 logo was plastered all over the place during that MW2 event.

[40cal]

I don't see why the 360 bundle is such a big deal. I mean MW 2 is coming out on both systems. Now, I know that Modern Warfare 2 will sell more units than any other game this year but it still makes for a meh kind of bundle. The ODST bundle seems more logical to me, just like the Uncharted 2 PS3 bundle.

I guess its a good way to push the 250 gig HDD.

[Cwalat]

IMO Activison is at fault, not Microsoft.

If Microsoft buys exlusive ad deal, doesn't that mean PS3 sales of MW2 will decrease like ... ALOT, in favor of SLIGHT increase for 360 version sales?

This is the most stupidest thing a MULTIPLATFORM publisher can do, even though i'm not sure how much money Microsoft pulled out of their asses for this, i'm pretty sure the losses on PS3 side will be more than what Microsoft gave them. Severily hurting the fanbase on the other platforms is not a smart thing to do, ESPECIALLY when COD4 was one of PS3's best selling games.

I'm not sure why publishers do this, for a quick buck in the pocket = huge loss in sales numbers.

This goes to ALL multiplat publishers, because this is hurting the industry really bad.

"The PS3 sales of MW2 weren't high enough, we're going MS exlusive."
- Activision

[G3TDOWN]

Activision doesn't decide.. it's the sony that decides if they want to make a bundle or not !

Sony already has A BEAUTIFUL Exclusive Line up that can make 10 bundles. LOL Activision who the f you think you are ? Making COD4 + 2 DLCS that are called COD5 and COD6 ?

[gaffyh]

This is why I don't think a MW2 bundle is such a big deal...

Because anyone that wants to play MW2, pretty much already bought a console to play MW1. Makes sense for when a game first comes to a console e.g. Halo 3, Resident Evil 5, Yakuza 3, but not so much when it's a sequel to a game that was already on the console.

[40cal]

"ESPECIALLY when COD4 was one of PS3's best selling games. "

And considering Sony just put another 850,000 units in households over the last 2 weeks.

[iamtehpwn]

Who gets a Ps3 for Modern Warfare 2? Will be a GREAT game. Though, can You play it else where. People get Ps3's for GT5, Uncharted 2, killzone 2, littlebigPlanet God of War III, Heavy Rain, and etc.

[Cwalat]

@iampthepwn

I agree, personally don't care for the bundle, but exlusive ad deals for multiplat games is something i really hate. Doesn't matter how you turn it, in the end it will hurt PS3 MW2 sales. And as much as i think MW2 is just another amped up version of COD4 it's a big title for the gaming industry and seeing it getting low sales for PS3 will hurt Sony probably so that the media hate for PS3 will amp up aswell + will end up in exclusive dlc for 360 versions in the future aswell, and that will give PS3 owners an unfair value of their 60$ paid.

So that's one of the reasons i hate stupid multiplat publishers, they think with their asses and as long as MS whipes it with money they'll keep on doing these stupid deals.

And in all honesty, what dumb fu--k you have to be inorder to purposely hinder the sales of your OWN product in favor of FEW qucik bucks.

[zeeshan]

I think it makes 100% sense. Why would Sony bundle a multiplatform, over-hyped game when they have AAA exclusives of their own that will actually move units. There are BUTTLOADS of exclusive titles that Sony could bundle with PS3. Uncharted 2, MAG, GT5, God of War 3, the list goes on. These tities (excluding mag) have the potential TO MOVE units. Regardless Sony or M$, bundling their consoles with MW2 will NOT move units!

[Parapraxis]

Not surprised, Sony usually packs in 1st and 2nd party games.

[wxer]

its actually pathetic that MS counts on a third party game just to move it console
it shows you that MS cant actually make more 1st party games
all and all
i don't think it'll move that much consoles
because PC, 360 and PS3 owners can play it on their platform
so when anyone goes to buy a console its not a matter of what game now
its the matter of what console
just like always

[N2NOther]

How is MS and IW making a MW2 bundle going to hurt the sales for the PS3 version of the game? Do you have any proof to back this up? COD 4 is the second highest selling game on the system. Pre-orders are through the roof. This game is going to sell incredibly well. The only people that will "boycott" are the irrational fanboys of which there are a minority.

[ZorinInc]

Activision likes money. Microsoft paid for timed exclusive map pack and most likely a bundle deal too.

At the same time their Chief Executive just happens to threaten Sony.

Why would anyone take this bull seriously?

[pwnzter]

that HHG is full of Sh*t.

[gambare]

Sony is way more focused with the Uncharted 2 bundle

[IaMs12]

Its a big deal for those who dont have a system and wants it. I know tons of people who like CoD but dont own a system. This is giving incentive to buy a 360 and a game you like thats cheaper in the long run. I showed this to my friend because he wants a 360 and he may consider it. Now if someone wants the PS3 well then get a PS3 then buy the game 65 dollars with tax and its already over $400.

The 360 you get the system 250hdd another controller the game. In the long run its cheaper.

Its giving options people! There are ton of potiental buyers out there and i wouldnt be hearing this stuff if it was on the PS3....

Ouch lol, I'm not gonna lie It makes me lol @ all the 360 fans that were all excited about it beating the Slim

Edit below......Slim is still Top 10, 360 fell after less than one day.

[Halo3 MLG Pro]

LOL. The ps3's hottest game is Sega's Ultimate Genesis Collection. Must be pretty slow for you guys.

[saint_john_paul_ii]

"LOL. The ps3's hottest game is Sega's Ultimate Genesis Collection. Must be pretty slow for you guys."

i must applaud you for your stupidity. BRAVO!!! BRAVO!!!

you should try harder though, you werent trying with that Troll Comment. Make a better one next time.

i give your comment a 1......out of 5.

[LCF]

Thats pretty much all X360 has coming exclusive next to forza. You starve your user base they eat anything, even a high priced expansion pack. Microsoft still has not given me a reason to hook my X360 up.

Got the feeling MW2 will end up like world at war. Activison sure like milking their franchises.

[G3TDOWN]

you just made xbox 360 fans look even dumber !!!

Wow... Look who PS3 fans are arguing with

You also need to stop playing video games because you eyes are BLIND as """CENSORED&quo t;"""

[djfullshred]

Haha, G3TDOWN. Well if it's any consolation to you, some of us that use a PS3 can read through the dribble, and tell the difference between knowledgable gamers that use a 360 versus clueless fanboys.

signed,

anti-fanboy PS3 user. ;-)

[IaMs12]

Wow seriously its just a bundle why the hostility folks. Damn i hate fanboys....

[MetalGearRising]

Modern Warfare 2 is simply made to be experienced on xbox live and you just can't get that excitement on psn. So a bundle for ps3 is just a waist of time.

[TheHater]

Trolling.

[Pandamobile]

Call of Duty is meant to be played on PC, as that's where it originated.

Both console versions look like sh1t.

[cyborg6971]

Am I missing what the big deal is here? Cause I can just buy the game for all three platforms.

[El Botto]

Their practises are despicable. This is the 3rd CoD thats based on the same 2006 engine they created with cosmetic changes. And they are leeching this crap every year.

And as if thats not enough, the majority of their company are fking xbots and their business tactics are incredibly dirty.

Activision is a piece of shiat company and its time they are going to feel the markets sentiment. Through their profit and loss account.

[ZBlacktt]

Negative, Sony has MAG coming out and Activision knows this. You know MAG? The worlds first video game console online game with 256 player's? Maps 10 times bigger than COD? With way way more perks than COD. Where rank means something. So yeah, there is no need for Sony to have Activisions game in a bundle. They have there own.

Nice Avatar too. A spin off Metal Gear with no Snake, ouch bummer. Metal Gear is Snake(s) and Snake(s) only. Anything else is just another game.

[James Bond]

Activision's greed + Microsoft's greed = $$$Profit$$$

[Megaton]

A match made in hell.

[sunil]

MS at least keeps its greed from making headlines (for the most part) Kotich is making sure we all know he is out to bleed us dry... MS doesn't operate that way...

[GiantEnemyCrab]

This bundle isn't a rip-off when you add it all up. What greed are you talking about? It's not like you can't just buy the stand alone game for both the PS3 and 360.

I don't like Bobby or agree with the nickel and dime tactics MS use but I don't see this bundle as one of them. The Uncharted 2 bundle is also a good looking one this holiday.

[36T]

GEC.. same sh1t , different pile. PS3 fanboys will always be the same. do you agree Flipmode? lol

[LukaX23]

Well said, 007.

[shad0w70]

I agree.

[Marie]

Cash money

[MetalGearRising]

Only the Best of the Best are chosen to play on xbox live which makes PC and PS3 irrelevant none existence.

[cyborg6971]

That's why sony leave games like too human to the 360. Just to multiply their already huge library of shovelware.

[TheHater]

[ZBlacktt]

Feed the troll, lol... :D

[v1c1ous]

will you complain about the ff13-ps3 bundle as well?

i mean....just to be fair am i right? :D

loser.. it's a freakin bundle. be proud and pound your chest. lol

[W-k]

I have no plans for modern warfare 2 on my ps3 but will let you know should that change Rofl, I will be playing BF:BC 2 i have more fun on that game let me know Activision when you have done some thing new and inovative with the Cod series

[orange-skittle]

You are so right. BF:BC 2 is a better game IMO. I have had many hours on that game and haven't touched COD:WaW in 6 months. Tried playing COD4 recently and I couldnt do it for long. I realized that I have outgrown it. I am getting MW2, but it will only hold me over until BC2 comes out. I love the huge maps, great graphics, destructible environments, vehicles, and helicopters. The debris flying everywhere after an explosion is priceless. I feel like I am actually in a war zone instead of a controlled environment.

[Jamescagney]

These amazing stories just keep coming!

[Obama]

Now bots have to brag about a mulitplatform game? Understandable since they really have no great exclusive this year after ODST flopped.

[maniacmayhem]

There are still so many games to play, please stop pulling out your "mediocre" exclusive card.

[Obama]

Well it's true..name me 1 full 360 exclusive game that is above medicore this year? DLC and arcade games don't count.

[iron1]

Forza 3 says hello you fool

[maniacmayhem]

Sorry Obama I don't care about which console has what "exclusive". All I care about is playing great games on either system that has 'em.

[Obama]

You are right.. I forgot the poor man's GT5 game that may be above mediocre.

@maniacmayhem

Shouldn't you stay in the gamerzone? This is a crazy battlefield here. ;)

[36T]

"Now bots have to brag about a mulitplatform game? Understandable since they really have no great exclusive this year after ODST flopped."

really?? ODST flopped? does September 19th mean anythign to you? didn't think so. go pre-order your Uncharted 2 bundle so you could help it's sales. I'll be playing Forza 3 by the end of next month. oh wait.. that must be a flop also. my bad.

[chidori666]

ahhhhh generic sh!tfare 2

this bundle pwnds all others bundles.

http://m.mygames.pt/MediaCe...

sweet....

[King2008]

You should never bundle a multiplatform game

[sunil]

Why?

[36T]

seriously. please explain that logic to all of us. let's just say i'm curious.

[Marie]

Balllllllllllllin

[l King I]

Because the ps 3 has a goty bundl
Uncharted 2 <3

[shutupandplay]

Why would they? Activision is a company, not a charity.

[thebudgetgamer]

maybee if unicef started making video games.

:)

[wxer]

a charity ??

excuse me ??
PM me when MS wins any generation
and fixes its hardware

[KILLERAPP]

They gave MS time exclusive multiplayer maps and an exclusive bundle but Sony has their own bundles so there is nothing to worry about, I do believe that Sony will get the exclusive Assassins creed 2 bundle so both get there exclusive bundles from third party and why do we cared we all have PS3 and 360 so in what way does it affect us can anyone explain it to me.

[bekum_aka_jarhed]

cause they dont give a **** about ps3/sony 402 IW ARE XBOTS FANBOYS

[mistajeff]

With all the PS3's new-found sale boosts, you'd think Activision of all companies would want to take advantage of that. Actually it's kind of weird that they're not.

[N2NOther]

The fact is that COD 4 has sold way more on 360 than PS3. It's more popular on LIVE than it on PSN. It sold more DLC on the 360 than the PS3. If I'm running a business and I'm trying to make the most money, I'm going to go with the sure thing first.

Time will tell if they made the right decision or not.

[mistajeff]

It'd still benefit them the most if they did a 360 bundle AND a PS3 bundle. Now that the PS3 is cheaper, there's more potential PS3 buyers, and more of a PS3 market for them to move in on. If they brought the PS3 COD interest up to 360 levels, that's more money for them. Also the fact that this is the sequel to a game that required a 360, PS3, or capable PC to play, there's probably not that many people who are planning on buying a new console just for this game (obviously I could be wrong about that), so it'd be best for them to grab people who are considering buying a PS3 as well as those considering a 360.
I'm not saying it'd be more profitable for them to do a PS3 bundle INSTEAD of a 360 bundle, I'm saying it'd be more profitable for them to do a PS3 bundle AND a 360 bundle. It's like having two girlfriends at the same time. Except the girlfriends hate each other too much to ever have a threesome. That's too bad, I'd love to have a threesome... Sorry what are we talking about again?

But seriously, I should probably be glad they're not doing something to maximize their profitability, as I'm really not a fan of Activision's latest business practices and attitudes toward the consumer. Unless MS is paying them more than the estimated profit from a PS3 bundle, which is possible, but meh.

[maniacmayhem]

It's probably because MW2 has a lot more traffic on Xbox Live.

I can bet $$$ that Sony is not worried about this.

[Pizzagaki]

This alone no, but everything going on combined gives them quite a sweaty crack.

[ZBlacktt]

Lets see, MAG 256 player's per game... COD 18 max. Not so sure here.

[Double Toasted]

back on each other...

[CaptainPunch]

Who needs a modern warfare 2 bundle, when you got the Uncharted 2 bundle.

[King2008]

First the fact that its a sequal so it will not be a system seller, second you can get the same game on the other system so who will buy that bundle. Like with Uncharted its a sequel but the first game can only be bought on the ps3. Thinking about it you shouldn't even bundle sequels with consoles. Don't get bubble hungry just disagree and lets have a good discussion

[N2NOther]

If you mean a sequel returning to the same platform, you kind of have a point. But this is a limited edition bundle anyway. It's going to sell well enough that they'll have made their money back. But sequels are system sellers.

[getonmylev3l]

pineapple express reference directed to activision= "SUCKA MY BALLS... TWO TIMES!!!"

but it's really no big deal. uncharted kicks MW2's ass anyday. i'd rather have that bundle. yee yee.

[Pizzagaki]

They obviously dont expect the bundle to sell.

Anyway, Slim vs MW2 bundle.
Fight!

Compare apples to apples. Where's both consoles sitting and have been? Since they both listed at the same price? :D

[Erotic Sheep]

FFS, bundles are there for EXCLUSIVES, not for some retarded multi-plats.

If you're forced to show off your console with a multi-plat game.. well thats desperation at its finest :|

[Feral Gamer]

The PS3 sells itself. It doesn't need a bundle. Even those bundles announced by Sony.... The system will sell itself...

[XXXRATED]

of course not and with the exclusive content we see that infinity ward is still sucking ms balls and will be heart broken when ps3 leads all platforms by early next year and sony tells them to stick it on cod8

[Unicron]

I wish I could play MW2 on the PS3!

Oh wait...

[PLAYSTATIONGENRATION]

ITs not even worth 500 bucks its a 360....

[NateNater]

Its ok as long as theres an uncharted 2 bundle, sony should be good. And a GT5 bundle would be nice too. Maybe a Final Fantasy 13 bundle.

[tawak]

Activision hate = ps3

[Nitrowolf2]

i am not surprise by this. Acti been mouthing off allot about sony. Remember they tried to drop ps3 support. This is there way of doing it since there is a price cut.

[air1]

well duh..

why would they waste there time when everyone is buying mw2 for the 360..

not only that but by the holidays the ps3 will be dead again in desperate need of another price cut/ re-design/ re-branding. just look how the hype fell off in just a week imaging in a few months. poor sony they just cant get it together...

edit
@ tinted

and im lmfao @ you for not believing it. just go to any gamestop and ask them what system has the most pre orders for w2. as far as the fall off just go to the main page on n4g, you cant miss it..

[Tinted Eyes]

lol @ you believing that

[Stationfan]

Modern Warfare 2 bundle, we dont need no stinkin Modern Warfare 2 bundle" LOL on a serious note, all this third party developers that think that they are getting the maximum return from favoring the 360. Are going to be for a big surprise when there games hit the torrent sites weeks before release.

Its no surprise that the ps3 although having a smaller install base have gone head to head and in some instances outselling there 360 counterparts. And alot of it has to do with the 360 rapmpant piracy issues. My guess is that this time of year Modern Warfare 2 is going to sell almost the same on both consoles.

Because the other million would have already downloaded the game for free, suck on it Kotex (Kotick)

[ToeKneeHaze]

1) phuck activision. How blind-sighted can you be by ignoring a mass market for your product (aka PS3)

2) phuck anyone who doesnt believe the maps and map packs / zombie mode made World at War a superior game to Modern Warfare...

The maps is what makes a good multiplayer and keeps me addicted. The maps in modern warfare were a joke after the initial ones that came on launch, the subsequent map packs were lacking and I frankly hated them...I loved the ones world at war gave us in the 3 incarnations...

Also i loved zombie mode....all this and I still hear people not only online but in person talking about how they loved Modern Warfare and ignored World at War....just goes to show you people are lazy thinkers which in turn morphs them into lazy doers...

[TheMART]

With the 360 only having a special Modern Warfare II bundle this Christmas, the PS3 is facked.

[ZBlacktt]

The PS3 still gets CODMW2. But you know who I feel for? Gamer's with only a Xbox ( or a stubborn fanboy of the system ) When games like

GOW3
MAG
UnCharted 2
GT5
Heavy Rain
Demon's Souls
White Knight Chronicles 2

all come out here in the very near future and they totally miss out on a real advanced state of the art developed game. To experience what a real Game of the year play's like. Because COD will never be that and we all know this.

[lh_swe]

I think it might be close.

[Stationfan]

I feel sorry for the bots that will put in Modern Warfare 2 for the first time to play, and get the rrod. You know its bound to happen to someone

[36T]

shouldn't you be playing Killzone 2?

[gamingisnotacrime]

have this people heard of a gem called Uncharted 2?

That would be worthy of a bundle

Im getting tired of Activision comments.

[Henry Cain]

And Sony don't need it

[36T]

Somebody pointed out something VERY funny.. give this a look. make sure to check "total players"

http://www.killzone.com/kz/...

USA only.. but damn... 0?? that must be wrong. maybe? yes? no? servers down? oh wait.. they're all on N4G checkin out 360 games! lol

edit: my bad it's now at 290. lol

[ZBlacktt]

If it really was 0 ( which I'm certain you're only kidding and we both know the real answer to this ). Then that would be because they are all playing the new Demo UnCharted 2. You know, the next game of the year. Something the Xbox will never see ( hello DVD ). Just a fact and something they have to deal with.

[tonywood24]

OF COURSE NOT, BECAUSE THEIR ARE NO IMPULSE, MIND CONTROLLED, OR DUMB SONY FANS. (Not a diss on people that own other systems!)

What I am trying to say is this: Sony has charged ALL of their money up front, with no hidden fees or accessories. Sony allows us (yea, I am a PS3 fan, who now owns a 360) to take out our hard drives and buy which ever off brand we want. Since Activision can't manipulate PS3 owners with a controller and a ugly colored system (so is that RE5 unit), they know they can't make money off us. IT'S NOT ABOUT DELIVERING FOR CUSTOMERS...IT'S ABOUT THE MONEY. LIKE THE BUNGIE GUYS. And although I don't feel as strong as my comrades, the feeling of nickel and dimming people is the main reason why Sony fans dislike MS. (Not the 360 Fans!)

WOW, a Prestige Edition game? COOL....I get to pay $130 bucks for fake night vision goggles. Hey Infinity Ward, Bungie's Legendary Halo game ($130) and Epic's Gears of War 2 Limited "Chainsaw" game ($130) thinks you guys are a bunch of lames!

[McLuvn]

Their only plan is to milk the same old tired IPs to death. Buy one of the truly stellar developers in the biz, Blizzard, and tack it on the end of their misbegotten name.

Barfivision.

[Roper316]

If I am not planning to buy your game in the 1st place or any of your other games why would I care if you made a PS3 bundle Mr. Kodick???

Activision games = used sale at best

no thanks to mw2 bundle. i chose uc2 over mw2. sorry.
