Call Of Duty, every one knows this game. It does not matter if you prefer PS3 to Xbox 360 or the other way round. Call of duty is the Biggest selling game franchise there is. This is something that is common knowledge.
Nothing has changed with the release of the latest installment of the COD franchise. Modern Warfare 3 has been the biggest ever entertainment launch, this is including all platforms, film, game you name it, Modern Warfare 3 has beat it!
We are looking at 6.5 million copies and over $400 million of sales in the first 24 hours. Battlfield 3, Modern Warfare’s closest rival has only managed a measly 5 million copies sold in a week. Modern Warfare smashed that in one day!
The record number of sales managed by the game, beat the last record holder hands down, the last record holder just happens to be Call Of Duty: Black Ops. And Black ops beat the previous record holder, that’s right you guessed it! Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 2.
The sales figures taken into account here are only from the UK and USA, so if you imagine the actual amount of sales could be much, much higher.
It is actually quite mind boggling to think this game has out sold the amount of theatrical copies of Star Wars, and Lord of the rings two of the biggest selling movie franchises ever.
There is no doubt that this game is massive, and it is only going to get bigger.
