Modern Warfare 2 - in the club of billionaires

Sales of the Modern Warfare 2 game have exceeded a billion dollars, publisher Activision Blizzard said proudly yesterday.



Since the release of the game, two months have not passed yet, and the number of copies sold is already about 17 million. At this pace Modern Warfare 2 will easily beat the GTA record: San Andreas (23 million copies sold since 2004) and will become the most popular computer game in history .

The new version of Call of Duty obviously should not turn into a one-day zilch. Online multiplayer mode can prolong the popularity of this game.

By the way, experts from the entertainment industry pay attention to the interesting fact that the billionth mark almost on the same days was crossed by yet another masterpiece of American culture, the feature film Avatar. Achievement of billions of dollars in fees is a rather rare phenomenon, and two players have never been able to join the “billionaires club” at once.

From computer games to earn a billion dollars managed only Guitar Hero III. Neither the GTA, nor the Halo 3 could not cross this landmark mark. True, all these video games are far from the phenomenon of World of Warcraft, which earns two billion dollars a year .
