MW2 accounts for 22% of November game sales

Sure, Modern Warfare 2 has sold gazillions of copies, but according to analyst duo Evan Wilson and Michael Pachter, it’s not that important — Modern Warfare 2 accounted for “only” 22% of all game sales, which, according to the analysts, totaled over $1.5 billion for the month of November.
They also mention that the previous record was held by Halo 2, which had 20% of the total sales when it was released in 2004, with second place to Guitar Hero 3 at 12% when it was released in 2008. It’ll still mean MW2 gets another record, but percentage wise, it’s only a bit better than Halo 2 (even though it surpassed it sales by far).
