Despite the recent Infinity Ward / Activision drama, Modern Warfare 2 continues to sell in ridiculous numbers, recently moving into 2nd place of the best selling games of all time. (Not copies sold, but the amount of money made). According to the NPD Market Research Group, videogames sales increased by 6%, mainly due to the released of MW2, although no exact numbers have been released. It took the game just over a month to reach No.2, but the top spot will be much harder to achieve. Currently held by the Wii Play, with nearly 60 million sold, as the game has been bundled in with every Wii controller sold, so you could say it doesn't 'count'.

Read the damn thread before posting :rolleyes:
Anyways, I think it got most of it's money from the release week, because around a week later people started unlocking the ACR, Model Akimbo, and also when all the noobs "With their pussy-ass heartbeat sensors" <-- BC2 quote, started playing and putting on all the cheap shit.
