IGN- Back in November, Wedbush Morgan Securities analyst Michael Pachter predicted that Modern Warfare 3 would outsell Battlefield 3 by a margin of two to one. Recently-released numbers hint that he may have been correct.
Yesterday, EA reported that Battlefield 3 has sold more than 10 million copies since launch. Activision reported back in December that Modern Warfare 3 had earned one billion dollars in 16 days but didn't reveal the exact number of units sold and has been quiet ever since.
Captain Price's fate at the end of 2011's Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 could've been very different, as this new post-credits scene reveals.
The developers have provided a little band-aid while PlayStation players attempt to get back into MW3.
Recently, players of Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone were met with a new bundle featuring the B.E.A.S.T. Glove, inspired by King Kong's armament in the Godzilla x Kong movie. However, the $80 price tag attached to this themed accessory left many Call of Duty fans feeling underwhelmed.
Morons that allow themselves to be milked continuously by this company is the definition of irony.
Spend more $$ and you'll end up In easier lobbies so you win both ways when ya spend that cash
Controversy in the COD community feels like it happens within an alternate timeline. Activision will take the piss with something, there will be a momentary fuss about it, and then they will forget about it and carry on anyway. Repeat this cycle literally every year for the rest of time.
They call that a crack head! Thats what this is really about, its an addiction. People who dont smoke cigarettes look and laugh at the addicts that spend $8-$10 a pack, but they cant help themselves, they are addicted. That same analogy applies perfectly to the whole MT industry. Only an addict that was not thinking clearly would spend this kind of money on something so frivolous. A round of multiplayer provides the same high a person gets from scratching a lotto ticket, or putting money on a sports bet. MT in general need to really be regulated because you have a generation of kids becoming adults who grew up only knowing the MT era of gaming. Its normal to them and they will in turn teach their kids the same by just being a gaming parent and getting their kids involved with them in gaming. Thats why no matter how ridiculous the headlines keep getting out of the MT industry, it never seems to fade or go away.
I'm so tired of hearing about what they're doing with this game, its never going to change and it's never going to value the consumer over money, furthermore the people who engage so heavily in the microtransactions I guess allegedly are having a blast and can't wait to do it some more this year when the new version of the game drops.
It's actually sold ~24 million on PS3 + 360.
If you count PC retail and digital that's easily above 25mil.

I agree, i showed a friend a certain competitor to the call of duty series and he never went back. He enjoys big maps, jets ect. Its a shame in my opinion games like call of duty overshadow other games.
Quite a disturbing trend.
Good to see MW3 get some recognition. I tend to think it's at around 25 million right now and will probably continue to be in the top 20 in sales each month up until Black Ops 2 comes out in November.
Sledgehammer did a heck of a job in a short amount of time, those complaining that it's the same game either haven't played it or don't know anything about games. It does play like a MW game, which it's supposed to do.
Other then that it's night and day from COD4 and MW2.
Congrats to them.
