Online betting service paddypower has offered confident odds that Activision's Call of Duty: World at War will end up at the top of the UK's all-format chart this Christmas.
The successor to the exceptionally successful Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare has been given odds of 5-2 to take top spot. The result may come as little surprise to some observers; Modern Warfare was the best-selling game of 2007 and has sold over 10m copies worldwide. Publisher Activision is certain to hold a comprehensive advertising campaign during the build-up to Christmas.
