MW2 passes 25 Million Players Mark

As revealed in a tweet by Infinity Ward's own Robert Bowling, Modern Warfare 2 has surpassed the 25 million unique online players mark.
That figure includes all three platforms, with Xbox 360 leading the way, followed by PlayStation 3, and then PC.
There's a theory going around that says some people only purchase videogames from established franchises and avoid new intellectual properties at all costs. MW2 just proved it right -- the direct follow-up is "dominating COD4's numbers," according to Bowling.
The last bit of news comes in the form of a tease: we are told to expect information about the first add-on pack (release date, possibly more) during this week. Oh hai, GDC! Forgot you were going on this week.

Ya mw2 is beast.

to be honest it is probably the laziest game ever they did everything half assed

Well remember, MW was a killer so the second MW2 was announced, people we're already going crazy about it... Now I still thinks it's a pretty good game, but they could have done more from all that money they have, lol... I can't wait for the DLC though

When I go back and play COD4, I release that MW2 is a super game. I think they weren't lazy but too zealous. They tried to make it appeal to too many people.
It was smart in a money making aspect.

COD4 set them up for success no doubt. I mean the reason MW2 was such a huge release was because of that success. That's why games like Killzone 2, BFBC2 don't have as much of a chance.

The first games in those series were terrible and so even with hype they aren't going to do as well.
Bottom line, you need a solid game first before you can make a sequel.Now days it's seems any game that sells 1 million gets a sequel, which shouldn't always be the case.
