Beats Modern Warfare 2.
Call of Duty: Black Ops sold 5.6 million copies in the US and UK combined – in one day. That’s more than Modern Warfare 2’s opening record of 4.7 million copies.
Those sales generated $360 million for Activision. Modern Warfare 2 only made $310 million, scoff.
“There has never been another entertainment franchise that has set opening day records for two consecutive years and we are on track to outperform last year’s five-day global sales record of $550 million,” commented Activision’s Bobby Kotick.
