Through all tough times, to success!
While the PC version and the game itself is riddled with problems, it seems that the sales volume of Modern Warfare 2 hasn’t been affected at all.
Halo 3 had an impressive first day sales volume, and Grand Theft Auto 4 had an even more impressive one. However, Modern Warfare 2 just has got to take the cake away from the two as it has hit the world’s highest amount of copies sold in a single day.
According to Activision, Modern Warfare 2 was to be the “the biggest launch in history across all forms of entertainment”, and it seems that they were right on spot. Not only did Modern Warfare 2 have an awesome launch, it seems that Modern Warfare 2 had found it’s place in every single platform despite some shortcomings.
Activision had reported that Modern Warfare 2 had made a total of USD$310 million in a single day. And that’s not a worldwide number too! The amount of money racked in by Modern Warfare 2 in a single day was only recorded as a sum of both UK and America sales. The USD$310 million can be translated into an amazing 4.7 million copies too.
The previous record holder for the most amount of copies sold? Grand Theft Auto 4 at a miserable 3.6 million copies when it’s compared with Modern Warfare 2.
Either way, congratulations Infinity Ward! And we can probably expect Modern Warfare 3 to come out sometime later too!
