It’s no secret that people are putting a lot of stock in Infinity Ward’sModern Warfare 2. Evil publisher Activision believes it will dominate this holiday season, and retail chain GameStop agrees, goingso far as to saythat the shooter could become the biggest game in history.
“We expectModern Warfare 2could be the best selling title of all time,” says Tony Bartel, EVP of Merchandising and Marketing. He points out that pre-orders for the game have been incredibly strong, and that many customers upgraded their base copies to the Prestige Edition once it was announced, which is a “very good sign.”
Bartel has also namedHalo 3: ODSTandAssassin’s Creed 2as two other titles he believes will drive videogame sales through the holidays. Both will likely do incredibly well, but let’s face it, with most big games being pushed back 2010, there’s not much competition left.
