Modern Warfare 2 Breaks First Day Sales Record
Modern Warfare 2 Sells 4.7 On Day One
It comes as no surprise to learn that Modern Warfare 2 is breaking records already. Activision is reporting that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has sold $310 million, about 4.7 million units, in its first day debut in North America and the United Kingdom. The record was previously held by Grand Theft Auto IV which accounted for $310 million (3.6 million units) on day one also, but in global sales. Activision is accounting the day one sales at $310 million in the US and UK alone.
“The Call of Duty franchise has become a cultural phenomenon showing the power of video games as an entertainment medium,” said Mike Griffith, CEO, Activision Publishing, Inc. “The shattering of these entertainment records is a testament to the compelling, cinematic and uniquely engaging experience that the Call of Duty brand delivers. Modern Warfare 2 has taken interactive experience to unprecedented heights setting a new standard for entertainment.”

Well, since they did this well, it definitely means a sequel is coming. The campaign was just a cliffhanger anyway!
