“I see your 5 million in one week DICE, and I raise you 6.5 million in ONE DAY”, says Activision. 

I tried to tell anyone who would listen that despite the head start Battlefield 3 had, when Modern Warfare 3 launched it would shatter records.  Is that because of the quality or because of the COD bots around the world?  One can argue either way but I told ya so.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 managed an estimated sell-through of more than $400 million and more than 6.5 million units in North America and the United Kingdom alone in the first 24 hours of its release, according to Charttrack and retail customer sell-through information.

“We believe the launch of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is the biggest entertainment launch of all time in any medium, and we achieved this record with sales from only two territories,” said Bobby Kotick, CEO, Activision Blizzard, Inc. “Other than Call of Duty, there has never been another entertainment franchise that has set opening day records three years in a row. Life-to-date sales for the Call of Duty franchise exceed worldwide theatrical box office for “Star Wars” and “Lord of the Rings,” two of the most successful entertainment franchises of all time.”
