Activision have released sales info gathered from North America
and UK retail outlets, revealing that Modern Warfare 3 sold in excess of
$400 million on day one. An estimated 6.5 million copies were shifted
at retail alone. Those numbers beat last year’s record set by Call of
Duty: Black Ops, which sold a mere $360 million on day one. Modern
Warfare 2 must have barely even been trying when it sold $310 million on
its first day back in 2009.
