Modern Warfare 2 Tops Halo 3

The age of multiplatform hits continues to evolve - two of the five current platforms now have the same title - Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, from Activision, as their top selling game.

this was bound to happen sooner or later

Rainstorm815079d ago (Edited 5079d ago )

Looks at the games thats reach high sales in this day and age ..............SMH

Halo 3 wasnt my favorite FPS or favorite Halo and i give that game much more credit than MW2. MW2 rode that wave that MW started unfortunatly it wasnt as good a game. So sorry COD fans good games arent plagued to death with glitches almost a year later

fatalred alarm5079d ago

Too bad such a glitchy unbalanced game can top a great game like halo 3,

I agree that halo 1 was better ( halo 1 is the game that got me an xbox and halo 3 my 360 ) and if you played halo, you know that almost all of the halo games came out with virtually no glitches,. and there was so much polishing.. incredible,

and ofcours the amazing community support by bungie.

peowpeow5079d ago

Does anyone else feel 'icky' since MW2 is on top of sales. I certainly do..though I do enjoy it, I wish a quality game would be on top

ClownBelt5079d ago

Multiplatform Vs. Exclusive. We saw this coming miles away...

SixZeroFour5079d ago

actually they were talking about 360's mw2 sales and halo 3's sales...mw2 has now beaten halo 3's lifetime sales by .02mil

if reach cant top that, then unfortunately (lol) mw2 is king of fps sales on xbox 360...i say reach only, cause i honestly think that halo reach is the only one, sales wise, that can battle against mw2 sales...but bfbc3 (as long as its as good or better than bfbc2), moh (from what ive seen) and reach (from what ive played and heard) are all better games than mw2...but to each his own

congrats for reaching that milestone IW/activision, i just wish you do better quality wise the next time around

evrfighter5079d ago

bc3 is many years away.

After MoH DICE will be focusing on battlefield 3 for the pc. DICE loves tinkering with new technology and with Dice and the pc. The skies the limit.

I've always had a a theory as to why DICE is doing MoH and Bad Company. My guess is EA probably wanted BF3 to go console but DICE probably told them they could give them successful franchises if they left vanilla Battlefield to the pc.

XactGamer5079d ago

Yeah but being multiplatform does push it more

SOAD5079d ago

The 360 sales of MW2 surpassed Halo 3. Being Multiplatform didn't have any influence on specific console sales.

XactGamer5079d ago

Being multiplatform creates more buzz causing more people to talk about it to friends or family. If it's hot on Xbox means it only caters to Xbox, but being hot on PS3, 360, and PC reaches a much larger audience. Plus all ads TV/Net/Mags showed mostly Xbox logo. You can also compare this to any game on the PS3 and PC and it outsold all games on all those platforms.

DarK-SilV5079d ago

no its the other way around ,being exclusive does push it more

electricshadow5079d ago

It will be interesting to see how much Black Ops sells when it comes out in November. I'll be renting it for the single player only. I'm sure MW2 left a bad taste with thousands of gamers (myself included). Treyarch is going to have to do something to get fans back. Bad Company 2 completely ruined the CoD franchise for me. And that's not a bad thing at all.

emil15079d ago

and now GT5 will outsell it

SOAD5079d ago

Godammit, now the despicable arguments are going to start again.

vhero5079d ago

Not if the PS3 exclusive rumours are true..

oldsnakemgs5079d ago

i agree GT5 WII SELL 10 MILLION AT LEAST

Infinite is a dumpster fire and as much as I like ODST, in no universe it ranks above Halo 2. This list is trash.

Kaii135d ago

Just exclude Infinite>5>4

ChasterMies135d ago

Best to worst: Halo 3, Halo 2, Halo Reach, Halo CE, Halo 4, Halo ODST, Halo Infinite, Halo 5.

The 7 Best Xbox 360 Games - Console Exclusives Win the Day

The Xbox 360 was a fantastic console in its day with some truly classic titles, but what are the seven best games for the console?

DrDoomer173d ago

I'm pretty used to these lists being bad, but this one is particularly s#ite.

raWfodog172d ago

I think Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon should have been added to the list.

BrainSyphoned173d ago

I'll go with,
Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Culdcept Saga, Shadow Complex, Ace Combat 6 with the flight stick,A Kingdom for Keflings, A World of Keflings.
Bonus Kinect Games: Happy Action Theater and Sesame Street.
*Skyrim was so bad on PS3 that it almost deserves to be #1*

Husker42c173d ago

I really loved Shadow Complex.

P_Bomb172d ago

Ah yes, Shadow Complex! Good indies back in the day. Summer of Arcade. I enjoyed Trials Evolution as well.

ChasterMies173d ago (Edited 173d ago )

Was this made by a.i.? No human being would put Shadowrun, Fable III, and Splinter Cell: Conviction into a list of the 7 best Xbox 360 games.

Abnor_Mal173d ago (Edited 173d ago )

Would love to play Ace Combat6 on PlayStation, but Xbox decided to buy exclusivity and keep it off a competing platform.

The only mainline game I never played except for one level at a friends place. Game sold less than any other in the series if I remember correctly.

darthv72172d ago

360 had Namco hitters AC6 and RR6... both quality titles. You should at least bust out the 360 for AC6 if you can score the flight stick. Its great.

Hofstaderman172d ago

When the current gen XBOX offering is so lacking people need to refer to games released two generations back....

Profchaos172d ago (Edited 172d ago )

It's a nostalgia peice same reason we get thousands of YouTube videos on sega genisis. Something people have fond memories for but the era is long gone.

It's xboxs golden year imo it was their genisis years the time where they stuck it to the market leaders Sony.

BehindTheRows172d ago

They stuck nothing. Sony screwed themselves giving Xbox an opening. They would have gotten the usual smack down if the PS3 had launched at $399 and was easier to develop for.

Xbox 360 Turns 18: Three Cheers to Live, Halo, and Red Rings

The Xbox 360 launched in North America 18 years ago, and is now officially old enough to buy you a drink in Europe.

darthv72184d ago

Great platform, and many of its games (not bc) still hold up well to this day. Like the PS3, I keep a 360 hooked up for those games you can't play any other way.

isarai184d ago

The last gasp of greatness from XBox, you are missed, except the RROD that was lame, but amazing exclusives until the Kinect dropped.

TheBrainZ184d ago

So many brilliant games. I still have one stored somewhere.

LG_Fox_Brazil183d ago

I really enjoyed my X360, some great exclusives on it. Used to play the shit out ot Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey, two masterpieces
