We aren’t surprised that Activision and Infinity Ward had a strong showing in the month of November withCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. The prime reason being that we’re aware that a lot peopleseemto dig the IP. The other reason, of course, is that most studios and publishers steered clear of the launch. Hell, even my mother put off her neck surgery for fear of competition. But some games did come out, and some even sold well considering, at least according to the latest NPD numbers.
While nowhere near 4.20M units moved, it’s nice to know that Mario can still hang with the newer big boys. On a dissimilar note, it’s a bit of a shock to see that another FPS,L4D2, was able to roll during theMWcraze. Mad props.
