Pachter: Modern Warfare 2 will win the holiday sales over Assassin’s Creed 2
It’s bound to be neck-to-neck, what with two big titles coming out this holiday season. But as with all competition, only one will win. For Michael Pachter, it’s gotta be Modern Warfare 2 (Xbox 360, PS3, and PC) over Assassin’s Creed II (PS3, Xbox 360, and PC) in the battle of the holiday sequels.
Am’a getcha!!!
It’s bound to be neck-to-neck, what with two big titles coming out this holiday season. But as with all competition, only one will win. For Michael Pachter, it’s gotta be Modern Warfare 2 (Xbox 360, PS3, and PC) over Assassin’s Creed II (PS3, Xbox 360, and PC) in the battle of the holiday sequels.
Featured in the latest GameTrailers Bonus Round Episode, Pachter is heard saying:
The game I think that gets hurt by Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is this game. I think there’s a lot of overlap of people who played both of those games. And if you have only US$ 60 to spend, the one you’ll not buy is Assassin’s Creed II.
I dunno about that so much. I mean, Ezio will be the one getting some after all. Surely that’s got to make your 60 bucks count, right?
Despite this grim forecast, however, he reiterates that ACII will still manage to sell quite well, if compared to the original.
Two-thirds of the guys who bought it last time will buy it this time. So that’s four million. And then a bunch of new console owners who never played the first one will buy it. So it will do comparable or better than the last one.
Modern Warfare 2 comes out November 10th, while Assassin’s Creed II comes out November 17th.
