Article:  Latest Call of Duty Video Game Breaks Sales Records

The numbers are in!  Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 set a first day sales record, with a whopping  $400 million in sales in its first 24 hours in stores! In fact, Activision's video games sales of Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 broke it's own first day sales record from last year when  Call of Duty Black Ops sold $360 million in sales on its first day of release.

The number of units sold of Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3?  6.4 million copies within its first 24 hours of release in the U.S. and U.K.!

Electronic Arts' Battlefield 3 also had good news regarding the number of units sold.  Battlefield 3 sold 5 million units within its first week of release -- making it the fastest selling game in Electronic Arts' history!

Here is a picture of video game players/customers lined up to get their copy of Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3.

Ms. H's take:  I think the record breaking number of units sold as well as the sales of Call of Duty Modern Warfare on its first day of release is very impressive. Activision seemed to have been prepared by ensuring there were enough games available to satisfy the overwhelming demand for this game.

Based on  the first day's sales, it looks as if Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 will be even more successful than its predecessor -- Call of Duty Black Ops!
