Modern Warfare 3 sells 6.5M in biggest day-one ever

4.6
We all need some extra cash in the holiday season, and if you're looking for someone to hit up for a loan, we'd recommend your rich Uncle Activision. The company just announced Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 sold 6.5 million units in the US and UK on its first day, good for $400 million. To put it in perspective, that's the biggest day-one for any entertainment product ever in history. This tops previous records set by Modern Warfare 2: a paltry $310 million and Black Ops, estimated to have made $360 million in its first day.

Of course, analysts had pre-orders pegged at roughly 9 million, so you know what that means to Battlefield 3 fans. Yes, Modern Warfare 3 is a huge disappointment falling well short of expectations. See, internet? Everybody wins!

Modern warfare 3 is a great game.

People just don't realise they have been playing cod for many years (most people) and the games are obviously going to be very similar to each other. People who just start playing call of duty will find this an amazing game.

Ahh, opinions. One of the many things people on the internet struggle to understand.

BF3 was a let down, MW3 is great.

But thats my opinion.


both suck lack of new things, mw3 is a copy and paste of mw2 with a little things here and there bf3, bad gameplay, maps unequal and so on, just another cod and battle feild game
