When music albums sell a million copies they go platinum but in the UK when a game sells a million copies, they get the ELSPA diamond sales award.

The latest game to receive said award is none other than Modern Warfare 2 which has managed to sell over 1 million copies for the Xbox 360 in the UK alone and over 600,000 copies for the PS3.

Modern Warfare 2 will join the ranks of other games such as New Super Mario Bros, Mario Kart Wii, Halo 3 and Call of Duty 4 which have all also received the diamond sales award.

Slap Pikachu on virtually any piece of merchandise and bam, instant hit. It seems the guys behind Pokémon have decided to capitalize on the fact releasing a ‘Pikanicamp’ line of camping gear.

Kotaku says the line will include Pokémon Diamond/Pearl themed tents, chairs, flashlights, sunglasses, and mini-tables.

It’s cool for the kids and all but from the looks of it that tent probably won’t be much use if you’re actually going camping.
