Black Ops 2: GameStop sells more than 1 million copies at launch

4.6
US retailer GameStop has said that it sold approximately 1 million copies of Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 worldwide at its midnight launch events.

GameStop boss Tony Bartel told Bloomberg that the game looks set to break records for the retailer.
"Black Ops II is shaping up to be our biggest game launch of all time," said Bartel. "GameStop sold more than 1 million units worldwide during our midnight launch period."

That's just a fraction of what's expected from the game's full day-one sales, as analyst Michael Olson predicts launch day sales of between 6.5 million and 7.2 million units in the US and UK, according to the report.

Activision said last week that Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 has the potential to become the best-selling game of all time, with pre-order numbers exceeding that of Modern Warfare 3 - "the most successful pre-order program of all time".

Pimpstar Wow thats a lot i wonder if gta 5 will beat it when thats out


GTA V WILL beat that record.


Naw I doubt it.


You must never play GTA then. I bet they will sell 2 or 3 million when it 1st comes out and will out sell cod.



Been playing GTA since Vice City, they all are very fun with a good story. But the multiplayer?


Lmao people on here I swear... GTA will NEVER outsell any CoD, along with any other game. Someone please tell me the last time a game has outsold CoD and what game it was...


Halo 4 out sold it. It was a new record. Halo 4 beat black ops 2 by 12 million copies. Halo 4 sold 400 million copies on it's first day. I heard black ops 2 sold 387 million.


That's only one day.


Black ops 2 made 500million in the first day, Halo 4 made 220million. Black ops 2 and the call of duty series doubled Halo 4...

MGMT Once again, new call of duty, not a surprise. I like Treyarch better than IW now...


Think I'm beginning to feel this way too now actually.

Not surprised, the game sounded amazing, looked amazing from the trailers, and of course, everybody loves zombies.
