Modern Warfare 3 Passes $775 Million in Sales in Just 5 Days
November 17th, 2011
In just 24 hours, Modern Warfare 3 had surpassed $400 million in sales, and now we have news from Activision that it has now broken all 5-day sales records for books, movies and video games, with $775 million in worldwide sales in the 5 days since launch.
This beats last years record of $650 million for Call of Duty: Black Ops, and $550 million by Modern Warfare 2 from two years ago. I guess it is proof that the titles just keep getting better and better – and that players want more.
The record-setting numbers don’t end there. Modern Warfare 3 also broke records on Xbox Live. Over 3.3 million gamers played Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 in one day on November 8. That beats 2.6 million unique gamers for Black Ops. I’m sure their next game will continue to smash records and rack up sales.

“I guess it is proof that the titles just keep getting better and better”
I disagree. I bought this game with hopes of continuing a great run. It was a let down. Instead of building, it is the same thing as the last. It was alright, but not better. I played about 20 hours in multiplayer and most of the campaign. I will finish the campaign, but multiplayer was a let down. I might be done with the franchise completely. Back to Battlefield without lag and skyrim for something different.
