It seems that gamers have ensured that first-person shooting games dominate the videogame market. Call of Duty "Modern Warfare 2", in its first month sold 6 million copies (between Xbox360 and PS3). The story gameplay is realistic and exciting, but short. Why is this game doing so well you ask? It's because of the online community play. Xbox Live and the Playstation Network have created something of a networking community centred around playing videogames, instead of creeping on other people's facebook profiles. Once you purchase the game, you don't have to pay to play online (for PS3 at least), making earning revenue very difficult once the initial transaction is complete. I'm not sure what % of the sale of the videogame Sony would get in this case, but it would be in their best interest and Mircosoft's for that matter, if Modern Warfare 3 was released a.s.a.p. The Halo saga revolutionized the gaming industry, now the Call of Duty franchise has taken it one step further.
