Michael Pachter is a man known for making some pretty bold predictions in the gaming industry. His latest and greatest prediction is that Modern Warfare 2 will sell $500 million at release. He also said that Modern Warfare 2 will “easily sell 10 million units in Q4.”
Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 should allow Activision to achieve guidance. We expect global sales to exceed $500 million in the first week following launch, and think that the company can easily sell 10 million units in Q4.
While we know that Modern Warfare 2 is easily one of the most anticipated games in a while can it sell that many copies? With the holiday season and the already astounding number of pre-order on the game, he just could be right. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see what happens. Modern Warfare 2 is set to release on 3 different platforms on November 10th.
