Yes that is right people EVER!!! 6.5 million copies sold in less than 24 hours, now that is one amazing accomplishment for Infinity Ward, Activision, and Sledgehammer games. Although this is Sledgehammers 1st huge debut in gaming they did a great job in conquering the heights of this game with a great team such as Infinity Ward.
Ok back to something we all love to talk about MONEY! Well we will start with Modern Warfare 2 cashing in $90 million 1st day of their sales, Black Ops raked in about $40 million and last, but obviously not least by making a killing with $400 million only a few days ago! That is more than a whole village of people would make in their entire life! Take that James Cameron! To also give you guys another "big eye" stare at the computer screen this is only two regions in the world, the US and UK.
I personally was a part of these sales and numbers that they received, but I am an all around gamer and constantly get games. Although they made a killing with their sales they are still having a ton of complaints by gamers all across the world! Many people have already claimed to take the game back, but Activision loses no money nor sleep from the unsatisfied gamers. Activision is a huge part of the gaming world from the Tony Hawk franchise to Guitar Hero. They will always be making these powerful moves and as long the name Call of Duty is on it, that is a easy million right there!You guys decide are these numbers too outrageous for a video game and for the gamers out there what game to you think should take the title for Game of the Year, GOTY?
That is crazy money! I took part in their sales as well. I got the Hardened Edition for Free and just keep selling my inventory of 7 left for $150+ each. I must say, thanks to this game, it is fun, addictive, and easily quite similar to the last CODMW2. Despite all that, I bet once they release the new CODMW4, they will break their own record again. So what makes this game so popular? Even though a lot of people hate this game/ complain/ or forbid it/ why are there over 4 million units sold? Is the game really that great? Was it heavily marketed? Perhaps, but this company will live the golden lives as long as they keep factoring more and more games.
