Posting this on a fanboy site was a bad idea, especially when the game you're comparing it to hasn't even come out yet.
H3 sold 15 million copies on one console, with 2.7 at launch. MW2 sold less than that on 360 at launch (about 1.5 at the most), and is nowhere near the 15 million mark on 360.
MW2, as a new game, has had a million people playing on it. this has dropped to about 700K already. H3 has been out for two years and STILL has 700K on it. MW2's lost 300K in a week, H3's lost 700K in 2 years.
Seeing a trend yet? A lot of people don't LIKE games where everyone else has pro stopping power and care packages and the most powerful guns in the first game they play. Game like Halo, where you need skill rather than Stopping Power and Martyrdom (yes, I know it's not in MW2), are more fun for some of us than getting nuked every 3 games, having a helicopter constantly tagging us and getting killed through walls in 2 shots.
Halo 3 sold 10.5 million copies.
It reached 15 million earlier this year.
EDIT: 15 million unique users. It had 4 million preorders at launch though, on one console.
