According to Activision’s early “internal estimates,” this week’s launch of Call of Duty: Black Ops is the series’ largest — financially speaking — of all time, accruing $360 million in sales thus far between the United States and the United Kingdom. Accounting for all that money is an approximate 5.6 million copies landing in customers’ hands solely on November 9, compared with 4.7 million moved during last year’s Modern Warfare 2 launch.
In case you needed further proof that the vast majority of the millions of Call of Duty players out there don’t have any idea about that whole Infinity Ward debacle, or don’t have any hangups over which studio makes the next year’s CoD, here you go.
