Activision: Black Ops 2 generated $500 million in 24 hours
Sales data was consolidated via sales monitor GFK Chart-Track along with "retail customer sell-through information" and "internal company estimates".
Activision's newest blockbuster could, if its estimates are accurate, be poised for a new entertainment record with Black Ops 2. However, the publisher has yet to confirm this.
Modern Warfare 3 grossed more than $775 million globally in its first five days of availability, exceeding the $650 million record set by the 2010 Black Ops across five days.
Activision chief executive Bobby Kotick claimed that life-to-date sales for the Call of Duty franchise have exceeded Star Wars.
He added: "With first day sales of over half a billion dollars worldwide, we believe Call of Duty is the biggest entertainment launch of the year for the fourth year in a row".
Black Ops 2 launched across the west on November 13th with an estimated 16,000 midnight openings across retail.
"Call of Duty has become more than a product people buy, it's a brand people buy into," said publishing boss Eric Hirshberg.

NoggerMcGoo The only good thing about this game is Zombies.
It just Black Ops with a II.
Are you kidding me? Blind people shouldn't be playing Call of Duty.
PLEASE tell me how this is anything like ANY other CoD?
No. Just no. There's the 'Pick 10' system for picking your class, there's League Play, Combat Training, and 'Party Games' playlists, there is a leveling system for your profile AND your guns, you can prestige your guns, they made objectives worth much more than kills (unlike any other CoD) and I could go on and on about how this is different than ANY other CoD, let alone Black Ops. PLEASE just don't comment on posts like this if you are going to dish out an oppinion backed by no logic/explination.
