Activision: Black Ops sells 5.6m in day one, beats MW2
In North America and the UK alone, the shooter has brought in $360 million and sold over 5.6 million copies, beating Modern Warfare 2‘s $310 million / 4.7 million copies record.
“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,” says Activision boss man Bobby Kotick.
Black Ops can now be considered the biggest entertainment launch of all time , with Modern Warfare 2 right behind it.
“The game’s success underscores the pop culture appeal of the brand,” Kotick continues. “Call of Duty: Black Ops is the finest game that Treyarch has ever made and raises the bar for online gameplay by delivering the deepest and most intense Call of Duty experience yet.
“The Call of Duty franchise has over 25 million players around the world that are engaged in billions of hours of online gameplay, and we are committed to supporting them with new content and features on a more frequent and regular basis.”
Lazard Capital analyst Colin Sebastian said that the shooter is tracking ahead of their estimates.

drewmaster17TRICKNN Well Black Ops Deserves it, (: It's a great game and a lot of changes from all of the other call of duty games no problems for me yet! :Dthere is still 1 problem, no quick scopes[/quote
Modern Warfare 2 quickscopes were piss easy and could have been done by a 4 year old. Black ops actually makes it challenging rather than a walk in the park like MW2

Im surprised Black Ops sold more on the first day. I think MW2 had so much more hype then Black Ops

MW2 had to live up to the amazing Call of Duty 4, which is still one of the best games ever. Black Ops had to live up to WaW. Nuff said.

theartftw I was honestly surprised with this, MW2 made a huge name for itself with advertising and such, but you didn't see as much for black ops.
very true but i think the suspense made people buy it then they got it and were all :/
