I would think the final harry potter book would hold that title considering it sold (not sure if the reports means shipped or not) like 15 million copies in the first 24 hours alone WW (most of which were sold in the UK and the US). But I guess the games industry doesn't count literature as entertainment. |
Except GTA IV sold 6m copies at 3x the price, with Special Editions as well, it brought in $500m and around the world, I don't think that copeis of the book were sold at $33. In the UK some places were selling it for £5
Modern Warfare 2 does have a decent chance of beating that number with all the Special Editions
