Modern Warfare 2 is going to crush this holiday season


Lots of titles slipping into next year. Most of 2K's titles slipping - Bioshock 2, Max Payne 3, Mafia 2. Now Ubisoft announced Splinter Cell Conviction is slipping.

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. 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. The first Uncharted was one of my favorite games from the past year.

Hmmm, I feel like I'm forgetting some titles though. What am I missing? More mainstream stuff like Guitar Hero 5 and Rock Band Beatles, I guess.

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. I know I'll be playing it like crazy along with everybody else.
