In one day, the NPD Group will release its game sales report for the month of November, which should reveal the (near) exact number of units Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has sold in the US thus far. In the meantime, Gamespot reported on two analysts who have predicted the portion of November software sales that were made up of Warfare purchases. Industry analyst superstar Michael Pachter says the game accounts for 23 percent of total game sales. However, Pacific Crest analyst Evan Wilson has it pegged at 25 percent of total November sales.
Wilson added that this feat is made especially impressive due to his firm's prediction that "this November's sales will match the month's highest historical total on record." In related news, news stories dealing with Modern Warfare 2 composed 67.2 percent of all news stories over the past month. Oh, wait -- now it's 67.5 percent!

Games are mostly a few thousand off usually.....but with walmart being open 24 hours and thereby being able to sale games like Madden, Modern Warfare 2 and others at launch coupled with black Friday sales, I'd say that November is going to be off like hell....I know they sold millions of various games....MW2 was one of them

I have to say, that I'm super happy being part of the problem/solution, even to the point of upgrading the 360 Premium to the Ltd Edition 250Gb Super Elite pack with the game... (along with now having Dragon Age, AC 2, Tekken 6, ).. I've done my part

I'm sorry if this sounds rude, but you guys need to learn the difference between comprise and compose. I often see them mixed up on the site.
Something can be composed of several different elements. For example: "Joystiq is composed of a variety of news articles, features and reviews."
On the other hand, an object can comprise, or consist of, several different elements. For example: "Analysts: Modern Warfare 2 comprised over 22 percent of November game sales." The phrase "comprised of" doesn't make sense.
Hope this helps!
