As I am sure you already know, Infinity Ward's Modern Warfare 2 has broken just about every record that there is. Although there are few achievements left that the game can add to its now very long list, there is one worth mentioning that is just as notable but not as prestigious.
Modern Warfare 2
According to Torrent Freak, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is the most pirated game of the year. The award winning game has racked up a total of 4.1 million unauthorized downloads for the PC version alone, which is more than double the number of last years winner "Spore."

A few of the other most pirated games include Sims 3, Prototype, Need For Speed Shift, and Street Fighter IV. Each holds a spot on the top 5 most pirated list for PC titles. Super Mario Bros. Wii made the top spot for most pirated Wii game of 2009, with 1,150,000 unauthorized downloads.


It is being estimated that Activision has lost some $245 million in sales due to these unauthorized downloads.
