EA's latest MoH shooter fails to impress critics and only sells 1.5 million copies in the first five days.
By most accounts, selling that many copies in the first week would be considered a fantastic success for a game. But EA has been heavily marketing the title and claiming that the Medal of Honor franchise will overtake its chief competitor's Call of Duty series. Unfortunately for EA, Medal of Honor did not reach anywhere near the kind of debut sales that Activision's Modern Warfare 2 did around this time last year. 1.5 million over five days just pales in comparison to MW2's 7 million in one day. Not only have sales been down, but MoH is earning generally poor reviews
