Edge-Online charts internet buzz for games in the UK.
Activision’s Modern Warfare 2 may have set yet another bar, completely dominating Edge’s online chatter chart. It’s not even so much that the game dominated normal volumes of chatter as it seems it generated hefty amounts of its own. It had more than 38,000 mentions, nearly quadrupling average volumes tracked for prior top games. It’s worth noting, as Edge does, that Activision’s game gets a little less positive mojo than previous chart toppers. Slightly less than half of the Modern Warfare talk measured as positive while most games have drawn 50 percent or more positive-to-negative ratio. Other high attention getters in the chart are Nintendo’s Mario Kart, Microsoft’s Forza Motorsports 3 and EA’s FIFA 10.
