World at War outselling its predecessor? According to early retail checks, it is.

"All platform" sales of World at War were double that of Modern Warfare in the first week, according to UK-based Chart-Track. While an accomplishment for Activision, which publishes the franchise, keep in mind that Modern Warfare sold on three fewer systems, shunning Wii, PS2, and DS versions in favor of 360, PS3, and PC versions only. World at War sells on all six platforms.

It should also be known that Call of Duty 4 sales swelled over time, given the games enthralling action and addictive multiplayer. As it stands, Modern Warfare is the best-selling shooter in 2008, according to NPD, despite being released last year.
