Activision: Black Ops 2 generated $500 million in 24 hours
Sales data was consolidated via sales monitor GFK Chart-Track along with "retail customer sell-through information" and "internal company estimates".
Activision's newest blockbuster could, if its estimates are accurate, be poised for a new entertainment record with Black Ops 2. However, the publisher has yet to confirm this.
Modern Warfare 3 grossed more than $775 million globally in its first five days of availability, exceeding the $650 million record set by the 2010 Black Ops across five days.
Activision chief executive Bobby Kotick claimed that life-to-date sales for the Call of Duty franchise have exceeded Star Wars.
He added: "With first day sales of over half a billion dollars worldwide, we believe Call of Duty is the biggest entertainment launch of the year for the fourth year in a row".
Black Ops 2 launched across the west on November 13th with an estimated 16,000 midnight openings across retail.
"Call of Duty has become more than a product people buy, it's a brand people buy into," said publishing boss Eric Hirshberg.

Pretty amazing, not surprised that it has done so well considering over a million copies were sold just at midnight launches.

VillainDumb_Modz If the multiplayer turns out like MW2 (fast pace) then they made the game right in my opinion the lack of speed made it less fun less life like.
So IRL, everyone runs around with SMGs screaming and shooting? idts
Call Of Duty isn't supposed to be realistic. If it was realistic then I wouldn't play it.

ProximityThe pick 10 system is extremely similar to the system of MW3 or Black Ops. League play? So what just a bunch of MLG 12 year old wannabes. Combat Training was in Black Ops except now you can play with random people online. OH MY GOD SUCH A BIG CHANGE RIGHT? Party Games are just wager matches without the cod points. OH GOD, YOU CAN PRESTIGE YOUR GUNS TO SHOW OFF YOU 1337MLGNESS. Sure, they made it more objective based but guess what? Nobody plays the **** objective anyways. It dosen't even matter.NoggerMcGoo The only good thing about this game is Zombies.
It just Black Ops with a II.
Are you kidding me? Blind people shouldn't be playing Call of Duty.
PLEASE tell me how this is anything like ANY other CoD?
No. Just no. There's the 'Pick 10' system for picking your class, there's League Play, Combat Training, and 'Party Games' playlists, there is a leveling system for your profile AND your guns, you can prestige your guns, they made objectives worth much more than kills (unlike any other CoD) and I could go on and on about how this is different than ANY other CoD, let alone Black Ops. PLEASE just don't comment on posts like this if you are going to dish out an oppinion backed by no logic/explination.
All your points were horrible and are just excuses as to why you want to think that you didn't waste 60 dollars on you crappy optimized game. You don't even have dedicated servers for christs sake. Thats sad.
