“GameStop sold more than one million copies of Call of Duty: Black Ops II in one day. That’s just one retailer. One day. CRAZY”

And just to ensure our brains exploded even harder, Reiner followed up by clarifying:

“Correction on the GameStop data: The million units were sold during the midnight launch period.”

“According to Piper Jaffray Cos., Black Ops II sales estimates are between 6.5 and 7.2 million for the first 24 hours.”

how much did MW3 sell day one?

6.5m

so this either matched the number or beat it. these numbers are freaking insane 

its going to be 2 insane weeks for 360 but nothing like Black Friday week for the Microsoft Console.

Yes, for comparison the other big gaming franchise did 3.3m day 1 and >4m in 1st Week.

Halo 4.

This alone on 360 1st week is probably going to do >8m

Radio this morning said 8 Million day 1

I cant wait for official figures. Wonder if CoD (or any game) will ever surpass 10 Million day 1 at retail.

Nuts. What surprise me the most is that how many people and gamers 360 have...

We have Halo 4 breaking Records but people still go out and buy Blops 2 and yet there are 300k at the same time on Mw3 lol

i guess there are alot of variety of gamers on Live with different tastes for FPS.

Mw3m Blops and Halo seems to be the big guns, yet BF3 did very well.

Man... when the hell is this thing going to decline?

I would wage not for a few more years at least. It's just that mass appealing, although I have wide taste in games, I still buy cod, they would need to seriously fuck up the franchise to put me off, surprisingly mw3 did just that, but I've put my trust in treyarch, unfortunately cod is still in my bag, haven't played it yet ;_;
