Activision have today announced that sales of Infinity Ward's latest Call of Duty shooter Modern Warfare 2 have now reached over 1 billion dollars worldwide according to their estimates. They can have my 30 quid when they release a dedicated PC server and not before, bah humbug.

"Call of Duty:Modern Warfare 2 has exceeded our expectations and shattered theatrical box office and video game records," said Robert Kotick, CEO of Activision Blizzard. "There are only a handful of entertainment properties that have ever reached the $1 billion mark, which illustrates the power of the Call of Duty franchise and mass appeal of this game."
