No dollar figures were given for MW3's first day worldwide, but it's widely reported to be 9.3 million units, which at $60 per adds up to over $550M.  Figure in some hardened editions at $100 and it's even more.

With BO2 the Hardened editions went for $80, but Care Package editions for $150, so the $500M probably translates to fewer copies per dollar than MW3.

We only have Day 1 figures for Black Ops 2, nothing more. Day 1 figures for Black Ops 2 stand at $500m according to Activision, while Modern Warfare 3 is at $400m.

Modern Warfare 3 went on to earn $775m in revenue in its first week.(Source)

The first Black OPs did $650 million in its first week....

So its safe to say that Black OPs 2 first week sales stand at anywhere from $800m-$1billion. We should get an official announcement later this week.
