SHOOTING PEOPLE is better than killing prostitutes, but not as good as brain training.

At least, that is, according to new console game sales ratings from Game Track, which found that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is the second biggest game in the UK ever.

CoD finds itself in second place behind the Nintendo based phenomenon, Dr. Kawashima's Brain Training, which has shipped over 3 million units, and we assume, improved about as many brains.

The fishy shooter has unseated the family friendly prostitute beat-up fest that is Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, suggesting that perhaps people are bored with killing innocent civilians on the street and would prefer to do so in airports.

CoD has shifted 2.8 million units in the few months since it was released. In bullets that is about four hours of gaming time.

The news was slipped out in another piece about the release of Final Fantasy XIII. µ
