That didn’t take long; Activision has just sent over the Day 1 sales estimates for Call of Duty: Black Ops. Let’s dive right in.

In North America and the UK alone, the shooter has brought in $360 million and sold over 5.6 million copies, beating Modern Warfare 2‘s $310 million / 4.7 million copies record.

“There has never been another entertainment franchise that has set opening day records for two consecutive years and we are on track to outperform last year’s five-day global sales record of $550 million,” says Activision boss man Bobby Kotick.

Black Ops can now be considered the biggest entertainment launch of all time , with Modern Warfare 2 right behind it.

“The game’s success underscores the pop culture appeal of the brand,” Kotick continues. “Call of Duty: Black Ops is the finest game that Treyarch has ever made and raises the bar for online gameplay by delivering the deepest and most intense Call of Duty experience yet.

“The Call of Duty franchise has over 25 million players around the world that are engaged in billions of hours of online gameplay, and we are committed to supporting them with new content and features on a more frequent and regular basis.”

Lazard Capital analyst Colin Sebastian said just minutes ago that the shooter is tracking ahead of their estimates.

Depends if the DLC is rediculously overpriced like MW2 or not

If it is then its another no go from me again lol

Have to agree with Kotick's comment about it being Treyarch's finest game. IMO it is by a long way

I dont think Treyarch are as stupid as Infinity Ward to charge overpriced maps.
I think they are more fair in these conditions.

Unfortunatley the price decision rests solely with Activision and they like to money grab!

if anyone played world at war you may remember the annoyance that it didnt have seperate playlists for folks without the dlc so when a dlc map came up you were dropped from the lobby.
