Posting on his personal blog, Bethesda Game Studios production director Ashley Cheng has said he believes Activision’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 will not only dominate this holiday season, but will become the “best selling Xbox 360/PS3 game of this console generation”.

“Not much coming out, in regards to AAA hardcore gamer’s games to stand up to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, other than Halo: ODST. Assassin’s Creed 2, Uncharted 2, Mass Effect 2, Brutal Legend and Dragon Age are the other AAA that look like they will ship this year. The new Forza looks good, too,” posted Cheng. “All these titles should be happy so many other AAA titles have slipped so they can share in the bounty with MW2. I’m especially excited about Mass Effect 2 and Uncharted 2.”

Sadly, Cheng will have to wait a bit longer for Mass Effect 2 as it’s not scheduled for release until early 2010.

He added: “I think MW2 will become the best selling Xbox 360/PS3 game of this console generation (of course, only because it comes out on PS3 — if any of the Halo’s came out on PS3, oh vey…). It probably would be even without the slippage of the other titles – but now that so many big guns are late – practically guarantees it.”
