This article covers NPD's sales data for console hardware and video game software for the month of November 2007. The article analyzes how the NPD reported results compare with expectations. Hardware and software sales were well ahead of expectations.
MW 2019 is five years old at this point and on previous gen hardware, but it is still the best looking Call of Duty game to date.
MW was an excellent videogame. They messed up Spec Ops big time, but aside from this it was a huge step in the right direction initially. Most notably, at launch it seemed to come from a very cohesive creative vision that was felt across gameplay, to story to art style/visual direction. It was also very notably written by prominent ex-Naughty Dog guys that quit almost immediately before release.
That COMPLETELY dissolved through post-launch content and the full pivot to a "cross-mode" narrative that completely obliterated the cohesion in overall story direction. Warzone then "became" the new face of Call of Duty and the franchise completely removed itself from anything remotely creatively "good". It is a pure money machine, so I kinda get why they're doing it....but I personally completely lost interest.
I would love to see Infinity Ward move off CoD and get to make their own product with full control. They clearly have some massive talent in their ranks but it's perverted by Activision's corporate interests.
Call Of Duty is back with its yearly instalment, but is Modern Warfare 3 breaking new ground, or just a lazy cash grab? The answer may not surprise you in today's review from JDR.
The original Modern Warfare and Modern Warfare 2 games have been drawing players back in
I really hope we get other activision games on GP soon. My dream would be Scarface but I know the license probably expired
None of those games had dedicated servers on console in the first place? Were always player hosted. Did something change?
Did I bury the PS3 prematurely? I already sold it off and bought and XBOX 360. Thinking PS3 was dead for sure.
Coming here on n4g had me thinking 360 had sold like 1 million units and PS3 only 300k. Just kidding, that's not the reason why I did it.
I did it because of the game selection. Everything is lead developed on 360. So it's the better gaming machine.
That aint 2:1
I still can't believe total software sales--that's crazy!
Wow, +110.89% for Rock Band. Rather surprising. The expected numbers don't usually differ that much.
Also, COD4 outsold Mario Galaxy? A PS3/360 M rated game outselling a E rated Wii game with Mario in it? Wow.
yup.. like ive said time and time again, vgcharts is crap, it overestimated on both of the consoles, overestimated the 360 by 250k and the ps3 by 77k.. STOP USING VGCHARTS.. sheesh
