According to Activision’s internal estimates, worldwide sales for Infinity Ward’s wildly popular shooter Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 have now passed $1 billion.

"Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has exceeded our expectations and shattered theatrical box office and video game records," said Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick in a statement released to the press. "There are only a handful of entertainment properties that have ever reached the $1 billion mark, which illustrates the power of the Call of Duty franchise and mass appeal of this game."

The announcement isn’t all that surprising considering the game has been smashing sales records since it took in an estimated $550 million worldwide just five days after its release back in November, but it’s still mighty impressive.

Is this a stunning amount or what was expected to you all? Is the hype still going strong even after all this time? Are there games out there that are starting to take the top spots?

I don't think the population is stupid at all, I bought this game for pc and thoroughly enjoy it lol. I guess the very tiny community known as the "hardcore" gamers has been shunned a bit. Doesn't mean this game isn't a LOT of f*ckin fun xD

Seriously though, I was in the same boat as the rest of you, thinking it was bs there was no dedi and over powered perks and streaks etc etc, but just try it, It's awesome.

I can't believe ANY game makes over a billion $$, that's just insane but good on them, they made an enjoyable game and are reeking the reward for it.

l, I bought this game for pc and thoroughly enjoy it lol.

I agree, I really like MW2, I am also not surprised it reached this mark...one of the best selling games of the 2000's

Re: Modern Warfare 2 Passes $1 Billion Mark

Oh btw, with that comment I was generalising. I too am one of the non-haters. I have thouroughly enjoyed it but I know what most of the community is like, and once in a while (like, yesterday in fact) it has been pissing me off with not working properly.

to cut it short, with the game I am on the fence. but I know that the PC community barely helped them reach this mark.
