Acti expects biggest ever sales for Modern Warfare 2

All the elements add up to indicate the game will have greater success than all previous CoD titles.

Activision's pretty confident this year's Modern Warfare 2 will be a massive success, but just how big can the game be? According to Activision CEO Mike Griffith, all elements point to the biggest success in the Call of Duty series to date.

“We fully expect Modern Warfare 2 to be one of, if not the largest, title in the industry this year," said Griffith.

He added: “We also look at Modern Warfare 2 and where it's strongest on the next-gen platforms of PS3 and Xbox 360... the installed base from the first Modern Warfare to the second one will be nearly double. So you add all those elements up – the greater installed base of consoles, the greater consumer base that was generated by World at War – all those things suggest that Modern Warfare 2 is set up to be more successful than any other Call of Duty we've launched so far.”

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare has sold 13 million units and counting, having launched in November 2007.
