this is shipped..not sold..how does this compare to other COD's?

since no one is answering our questions,...  i googled it.

 

"Activision announced today Call of Duty Black Ops 2 made $500 million on its first day at retail, eclipsing the franchise's previous record of $400 million as set by Modern Warfare 3 last year. Back then Modern Warfare 3 sold 6.5 million copies in the US and UK to make that figure, suggesting even greater numbers of copies sold this time around."

..the cake thread is a lie.

Wow...there's no way for it to have doubled like that. They have to be using the number sold to retailers (both current and next gen) instead of to consumers.

If not, then this is just pure nuts.

well the OP clearly states "into retail stores" while my article clearly states " at retail" so the numbers aren't quite directly comparable.  shipped vs. sold is for sure at play here.
