Black Ops 2: GameStop sells more than 1 million copies at launch

4.6
US retailer GameStop has said that it sold approximately 1 million copies of Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 worldwide at its midnight launch events.

GameStop boss Tony Bartel told Bloomberg that the game looks set to break records for the retailer.
"Black Ops II is shaping up to be our biggest game launch of all time," said Bartel. "GameStop sold more than 1 million units worldwide during our midnight launch period."

That's just a fraction of what's expected from the game's full day-one sales, as analyst Michael Olson predicts launch day sales of between 6.5 million and 7.2 million units in the US and UK, according to the report.

Activision said last week that Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 has the potential to become the best-selling game of all time, with pre-order numbers exceeding that of Modern Warfare 3 - "the most successful pre-order program of all time".

I would assume so. (Hopefully)

GTA doesn't have any particular audience, and almost everyone plays it. So I'd hope you're right.


I'd honestly swap out the 'GTA,' with 'Call of Duty,' in your second sentence. I'm more excited about GTAV myself, but Call of Duty doesn't really have a 'particular audience,' and almost everyone I know plays it. Old people, youngsters, wangsters and more.

GTA, however, a lot of people frown upon because of it's content. That means a lot of kids won't get it, plus I know a lot of people who just aren't into it at all anyways.

Hardly surprising. It would be worthy news if it sold under a million.
