Modern Warfare 2 'Mapathy' Cure Sets Xbox Live Record
Activision and Microsoft made the right diagnosis.
Seems like a cure for 'Mapathy' was just what the doctor ordered, as Microsoft MD confirmed today that Modern Warfare 2's Stimulus Package has passed 2.5 million downloads in its first week.
That means Infinity Ward's latest add-on to its popular war series has smashed all Xbox Live records for downloadable content. One million of these downloads were made in the first 24 hours of sale.
While we're in the mood for facts, Microsoft also revealed that Xbox 360 gamers have collectively played more than 1.75 billion hours on Modern Warfare 2 online. That's equal to about 200,000 years of constant gameplay. And who said there was no time to dedicate to gaming?
Well done, guys. Let's break science, one step at a time.
