Modern Warfare 2 UK’s Biggest Selling Game Ever

According to Chart-Track, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is now the UK’s biggest selling video game, ever!

After forty-one weeks, only three of those weeks outside of the top ten, Infinity Wards shooter took the crown from the previous all-time UK best-seller, Dr. Kawashima’s Brain Training. Chart-Track didn’t have any official sales numbers to hand but you can be sure Activision will have some sort of announcement about Modern Warfare 2's latest milestone soon.

It took ‘Dr Kawashima’ around 36 months to overtake the previous record holder!
