Ma Gawd that's a shit load of money
I hope Bobby falls off from his pile of money and can't work any more

Also to anyone who says COD doesn't deserve it, maybe it is successful because it's brilliant. Just not your cup of tea, now shut up and get back to planning Bobby's assassination

$3.000.000.000 sales does not equal to $3.000.000.000 profit.

And wasn't the general vivendi profit split up like: Sierra <1% Activision 33% Blizzard 66%? I remember bobby stating that he was happy to be teamed up with blizzard because wow alone outsold his entire company.

Wow, Some bad series rake in money, but this is preposterous, and if it wins game of the decade, I for one, am going to be pissed off.

So shall i. Call of Duty doesn't desere these awards.

Well, I think it does, at least the first two games do.

Call of Duty got old for me after they left the generic WWII genre. CoD2 was and forever will be in my mind the greatest of all the CoD games.

It's a matter of opinion, whether or not a game is good. You may think it's bad, but sadly, you have been heavily outvoted in the millions.

OT: Pretty good, I think. Now, they've got to avoid making the mistake of utterly and completely milking the franchise.

damn I want some of that money

You're not alot...you're not alone

You used the wrong "you're".
OT: I don't get all the hate on the FPS genre. If you hate it, ignore it. I don't care for RTS games that much, but you don't see me bitching...

Not too surprised by this.

But I'm calling this now: Modern Warfare 2 will be the first game to sell one billion dollars worth of units worldwide.

if they stayed with WW2 it would get really boring and they would run out of idea's, with modern warfare they are adding something fresh, next up its a vietnam COD i believe

I'm getting sick of this seething hatred that all of a sudden develops because a big video game company makes alot of money.

I doubt it is just "because a big video game company makes a lot of money". While it is not the topic here, there are plenty of other reasons why some are "seething hatred".

Then buy some shares. If it was valve making this much money from TF then everyone would be cheering and holding a party.

So you don't like uncle Bobby. The guy is an alpha male of capitalism, the American dream. All of you US Escapists should be phoning Activision arranging to give Bobby a celebratory hand job.

Personally I'll stick with my nationalised health care.

MW2 is a good game with plenty of polish. It has been well marketed and has come from the back of a very good COD MW. It would have been a real shame if it had not done well.

You might not like it, I'd guess most of those who don't haven't played it or had made their mind up before playing it, but lots of people do. It's a matter of opinion.

I know the WWII genre was getting old fast but I personally believe it was when COD was at it's best. It would have gotten incredibly boring if they hadn't mixed it up though.

The word is "Preposterous".

CoD isnt even a good series.

Blizzard releases make more then that on the first day, then go and continue that momentum for decades.

Can everyone stop coming to topics just to post hate? It's getting boring. I think they deserve it. (See that? My opinion. Just to clarify. Not fact.) Good on you Infinty Ward, Modern Warfare 1 and 2 are some fine games.

Can you hear that? That's the sound of Bobby Kotick jerking off with a handful of 100 dollar bills.

Really? I thought he wiped his arse with a thousand dollar notes.

Seriously, this franchise needs to take a break. I'm absolutely sick of people in my school harping on about it.

How about we put it up against WoW?
