Modern Warfare 3 rakes in $400M first day

[gordy]

"Last week, the Call of Duty franchise yet again redefined our measly definition of “success” by selling 6.5 million copies of Modern Warfare 3 in one day, which translates into $400 million from just the U.S. and the U.K. That might be the single biggest currency-for-entertainment exchange in the history of pop culture. (By comparison, movie record-holder Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows — Part 2 made a mere $91 million in its first 24 hours.)"

Who says there's a recession on?

I had heard this item, too, but it only quoted the dollar amount. I was curious to know how many units moved. 6.5 million--'round here, we call that an s- load.

I'll stick to figures and models....

Prost!

Thats 6.5 million less figure painters....

I'm not sure about that. I like computer games, and I like figures

Never became a computer game fan....a joystick and a fire button were about all I could ever handle.
