The Billion-Dollar Video Game vs. the Billion-Dollar Movie

Kotaku link- comparing the stats for Avatar and Modern Warfare 2.

Interesting to compare the stats for how a movie and a video game get to be such big hits. I had heard that a lot of the success of Avatar comes from word-of-mouth rather than actual advertising, which may explain the difference there.

I thought Modern Warfare 2 was brilliant. Not long enough, but bloody brilliant.

As a CoD fan, I found it very disappointing.

Damn it, I hope I'm not the only sodding bastard who liked Modern Warfare 2

That's probably the most interesting pseudo-pie chart I have seen in a long time. I treally goes to show the influence of the biggest games and movies of the past decade(or thereabouts because of Titianic)

That is quite interesting. I never thought Modern Warfare 2 to be this successful. I guess it shows which is obviously better though.

Wow Avatar beat Modern Warfare? Everyone and his mom has that game.
