Call of Duty: half a billion dollars in the first day
Released on Tuesday, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has set a new world record for the number of sales in the first day, beating Grand Theft Auto IV.
During the first 24 hours since the release, about 4.7 million copies of the game were sold for a total of $ 310 million. If you believe Activision, this figure includes sales only in North America and the UK, and the results from other regions have not yet come.
Thus, the seemingly unattainable record of GTA IV in May 2008 (the same $ 310 million, but worldwide) can be considered surpassed. This will happen officially, as soon as they hit the full balance for Modern Warfare 2. Moreover, the excess must be very serious: we can assume that the global sales volume in the first day was about half a billion dollars, or even more.
