Activision announces more statistics to illustrate the success of the launch of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, saying that the military shooter sequel "is not only the biggest entertainment launch in history grossing more than $550 million, but also significantly outnumbers the world’s top-five armed forces combined." They offer several specific comparisons between the number of players in their game and the numbers of soldiers in various armies, such as their player base representing "more than twice the number of troops in NATO’s 28 member countries combined." No word is offered on how many Purple Hearts MW2 troops have earned from couch burns and Cheetos mishaps.
