MULTI Modern Warfare 3 Tops 9.3m First Day (Biggest Industry Launch Ever)

[XecutionerX]

'When will this franchise peak?' Many asked this after last year's Black Ops defied all odds and outsold a Modern Warfare Call of Duty game (the very reason the series is so big today); a brand within itself. So it shouldn't come as a surprise that Call of Duty has yet again broken industry records, but it's by how much that makes it staggering.


A reported 1.5 million people queued at midnight globally to get their hands on Modern Warfare 3, with a total of 9.3 million copies sold on the first day. The Xbox 360 version sees around a 54% share, meaning it's the first game on one platform to pass 5 million on its first day. The PlayStation 3 version held 42%, which is around the 4 million mark. Both day ones are only slightly behind Black Ops entire first week sales. The PC version and the Wii version held the remaining 4%, which is around 370,000 units (pc=lmao!).

lol activision has gone away with the biggest steal ever!

I think they're counting in Modern Warfare 2 sales with it

I knew Xbox would have the highest number of units sold. PC gamers are all busy in BF3 including me But this game, especially its SP is not to be missed.

Hmmm, I see they made it multiplatform.

For X360, PS3, Wii, PC and even DS (but why not on PSP? )
