Walt Mossberg – For iPad and Mobile Devices, a “Port” out of the Norm
You may have heard that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 sold nearly 5 million copies in North America and Britain on its first day of release last week–that’s $310 million in sales, what publisher Activision (ATVI) calls “the biggest launch in history across all forms of entertainment.”
Nevertheless, the game’s more noteworthy achievement is an artistic one: It’s a first-person shooter that plays as a tragedy, not a power fantasy.
This is a section of the AllThingsD Web site featuring posts that have been curated from around the Web: pieces we’ve read, discussions we’ve followed, stuff we like. Five posts are included here each weekday, but only the headline and the first two sentences. We link to the original site for the rest. The section is explicitly labeled, so it’s clear that content comes “from other Web sites.”
We also solicit original full-length posts and accept some unsolicited submissions. Voices is edited by Beth Callaghan.
