I’ve got Modern Warfare 2, and it’s an amazing game. No doubt, one of the best games I’ve ever played.
But, I didn’t NEARLY expect the record-breaking sales that it procured. While I did expect a large-numbered first day of sales, this was simply unpredictable…

Let’s start off by setting the bar.
Last year, Grand Theft Auto IV broke industry records, selling over 3.7 million copies the day the game was released, and 5.92 million during the first week on-shelves. People were amazed, and the news spread like wildfire.
This accounted for all of the platforms the game is available on (except for PC, which was not available until later in the year).

Now, to get to Modern Warfare 2.
This game has STUNNED market analysts, as well as people who give a rats ass, such as myself.
On the very first day this game was out, it sold over SEVEN MILLION COPIES worldwide. On the first day.
This is in comparison to GTAIV’s 5.92 million in the first WEEK, which broke records.

And these seven million copies were spread out among the platforms for which it was released… The Xbox 360, the most popular console so far for this game, had a staggering 5.5 million sales on the first day alone.
This is almost equal to GTAIV’s one WEEK sale, and it’s just for one console!

I am honestly stunned. This game has broken so many records in the 24 hours that it’s been released, and it’s sure to make a huge impact on the gaming scene.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m gonna go play for a couple — the rest of the night.
