I'm not surprised that people bought the 360 version. Funny thing is the ps3 version will outsell the ps3 exclusives by a large margin.

Speaking of which, check this out. This is in malaysia:



And this is new yorks best buy:

This morning, Fox brought its "fair and balanced" reporting to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. The headline? "A game that lets you play as a terrorist?"

That was followed with this pre-commercial quip: "Is the game going too far? We're going to have a fair and balance debate to find out."

Jon Christensen of website Slash Gamer and Common Sense media CEO Jim Steyer discussed the issue with the Fox host. Reader Ryan transcribed the conversation from his television set. It follows:

Fox Host: Jim, you got some problems with this game?

Jim: It's mainly for adults and a well made game, but there's no doubt there's a link between violent video games and kids.

Fox Host: Jon, you essentially get to be a terrorist and kill people and it's very realistic.

Jon: You're not actually a terrorist. You're a CIA undercover agent. You are infiltrating a terrorist organization and the game specifically says, when you go into, uh when you work with this terrorist organization. You are um... (Jon loses his train of thought, awkward moment) You are a a a uh a a a CIA operative. (chuckles) I'm sorry.

Fox Host: Jim at what age is this game appropriate or is it ever appropriate?

Jim: The main issue with violent video games, including very well made made games like COD. There's no question there's correlation between violent games and kids blah blah*. It's up to the parent to decide whether they buy the game for their son or daughter blah blah*. You need to use common sense.
*blah blah blah added by reader Ryan

Fox Host: I'll give you the final world Jon

Jon: Kids can definitely pick up the game. If parents buy it for them. I have a buddy who's a manager of a store. Little kids came in to buy the game and he asked if they were over 17. They said no, so he didn't sell them the game. Retailers are doing a good job. It's been proven time and time again.

Fox Host: You bring a violent game into a house with an 8 year old, nothing to stop that kid from playing it and becoming a terrorist...on a video game.

Jon: That's ridiculous! You're not a terrorist! It's pixelated violence! You're not a terrorist!

Fox Host: It's violence.

Jon: (closing his eyes) It's not real. It's not real.

Fox Host: Jon and Jim. The debate goes on.

Not nearly as exciting as Fox's take on Mass Effect!

And yes, we'll post the actual show clip when it pops up online.

Fox is butthurt.

And, in other news:

Need an idea of just how big Modern Warfare 2's launch has been? Here's one: over the past week, Activision shipped three million copies of the game...to the United Kingdom.

Yes, while most other games on the planet would be happy to ship one million copies across the entire planet, three million units were sent just to the UK, a nation with a population of just over 60 million. So when you consider there are over 300 million people in the US, 33 million in Canada, 80 million in Germany, 20 million in Australia...yeah, you get the idea.

There are a lot of copies of Modern Warfare out there. Wonder how long it'll take to sell them all?

OH and this:


Yes, there is a blow up doll in MW2. lol

LoL to the FOX article. Jack Thompson should be all over the game sooner or later too.

I still hope to live until the day that all the people on the Earth would say: Its just a videogame so who fucking cares? Enjoy it or STFU!

I kind of understand what they're trying to say, the 3rd level was WTF for me too, but fun. And, yea, it is a videogame.

Also, all 360 peripherals for MW2 have been rated great, but look at what I found:
