According to VG Chartz, Activision’s popular FPS reached the 2 million sold PS3 copies milestone last week.
Thus, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare joins Motorstorm and Resistance: Fall of Men as the Trio, the only 3 games on the PS3 to sell 2 million copies. This golden trio, so to speak, will soon turn into a quartet, as Assassin’s Creed reached the 1.99 million sold copies mark and will surely reach 2 million very shortly.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare was in many people’s opinion the best video game to come out in 2007 and it has been doing pretty well in the sales department on every platform.
PS3 officials have announced that the number of PAL PlayStation 3s will exceed that of Xbox 360s by the end of this summer.
David Reeves, the man in charge with Sony’s affairs in Europe said: “ In terms of installed base in some of our major markets, such as France, Spain, Germany, Italy, plus some distributor territories in smaller markets like Switzerland, our current cumulative installed base is now higher than that of the Xbox 360.”
Reeves also added that Sony’s wonder console has outsold Microsoft’s machine by 3:1 last week in PAL territories, and he expects the PS3 to outnumber the 360 in Europe, by the end of this summer.
All this talk of Europe, Germany and France made me think about WW2. Maybe Microsoft represents Germany and Sony, the Allied Forces. If history repeats itself, will Sony come up on top in the end?!?

Blizzard announced on Tuesday that its award winning MMORPG, World of Warcraft has reached the 10 million subscribers mark.
The company actually defined what a WoW subscriber is, there would not be any misinterpretations: “individuals who have paid a subscription fee or have an active prepaid card to play World of Warcraft, as well as those who have purchased the game and are within their free month of access. Internet Game Room players who have accessed the game over the last thirty days are also counted as subscribers.”
The subscribers are distributed as follows: 2.5 million in USA, 2 million in Europe and 5.5 million in Asia. Here’s what Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment had to say about this: “It’s very gratifying to see gamers around the world continuing to show such enthusiasm and support for World of Warcraft,” said Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment sa. “We’re always pleased to welcome new players to the game, and we’re looking forward to sharing the next major content update with the entire community in the months ahead.”
Way to go World of Warcraft, I guess, although I’m not a big fan of the game or the MMO phenomenon in general.
Japanese PSP owners won’t be able to enjoy Skype on their handhelds sooner than western owners, as originally announced, due to an unexpected delay.
According to Kotaku, the PSP’s microphone components failed to meet the requirements set by Skype. The US and European clients will not be affected by this delay, the launch will take place at the end of January, coinciding with a new firmware upgrade.
Skype allows its users to make free voice –over-IP calls, similar to telephone calls.
2008 could be the year the Nintendo Wii pulverizes another record, as analysts say it might top PS2’s yearly sales record.
CVG reports that analysts from the Daiwa Institute of Research are convinced that the Wii will break the all-time sales record, held by Sony’s PS2 in 2003. Judging by the evolution of Nintendo’s console, this was to be expected, even though PS2 is still the most popular console ever, the Wii has become a social phenomenon, driving the masses to doing crazy things just to get their hands on one.
“Next fiscal year will be crucial for the company as the Wii may top the sales record held by the PlayStation 2.” says Soichiro Fukuda, an analyst at Nikko Citigroup. According to him PlayStation 2 holds the record of console sales in one year, with 22.5 million in the year ended March 2003.
Wii sales might also help Nintendo dethrone Sony as the larger console manufacturer in the world in 2008.
Eve Online is the first ever MMO available for download via Steam, and to celebrate the occasions both parties have a promotion coming up.
Eve Online has just become available for players to download through Steam services, and to celebrate this historic event, Valve and CCP thought they’d offer their clients a little treat: a free 21 day trial and the slashing of $5 off the first month’s subscription fee. It ain’t a lot but hey, at least it’s more than nothing.
Eve Online is among the first MMOs ever created and it is set in a space themed universe where gamers can take part in space combat or exploration.
Originally a PSP exclusive, Origins is heading for Sony’s PS2, with improved control.
This prequel to Konami’s horror franchise tells the tale of Travis Grady, a trucker that gets sidetracked to the foggy town of Silent Hill and gets to experience first hand its…unique hospitality.
A release date hasn’t been announced yet but I hope the developers take their time on this one, maybe tweak the controls a little better, especially for the combat situations, that’s where the PSP versions really sucked.
Get ready to unleash Nero’s “Devil Bringer” power as Capcom releases the demo for Devil May Cry 4 on January 24.
Although the demo was announced ever since last year, the exact time it was going to be released remained unknown. At first it was set for January 31st but now it’s official, the demo is coming out on the 24th and will be available for download through the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Marketplace.
The demo doesn’t only contain the first level, as you’d be tempted to believe, but a number of moments of the game, in different locations, focusing on the new character, Nero, and his special power, the “Devil Bringer”.
The full game is expected to arrive on the PS3 and Xbox 360 on February 5th.
Rockstar pays back Hilary for saying all those bad things about their flagship, the GTA series, by giving her a small part in the upcoming GTA 4.
Seriously News reports that the developer has announced in a blog posted press release that it intends to make all the prostitutes in GTA 4 look like the democrats’ presidential candidate.
Clinton has long been an enemy of the GTA franchise and violent games in general, going as far as asking for a federal investigation into GTA: San Andreas, to probe how children can access violent and pornographic scenes from the game, online. “Being able to kill people in a virtual world is harmful to society. It’s why I spend all of my time in the Senate cleaning up video games instead of improving real life” said Hilary.
Rockstar is going beyond looks, after having sex with the player, the prostitute will say something like: “will you still vote for me?”, and after being killed, with her last breath, she’ll say: “Now I’ll never get to be president!”
This all sounds very funny, actually it sounds to funny to be true, un fortunately we weren’t able to track this blog posted press release, in order to confirm this news. Still even if it turns out to be bogus, it’s still a nice idea.
