New game in the series “Call of Duty, Modern Warfare 3” clearly breaks all records. Activision has published its financial results, which show that the game only in the 24 hours since the release brought this company 400 million U.S. dollars in just five days, that number had climbed to dizzying 775 million dollars.
With this, it manages to break the record of the previous version “Black Ops“, which is within five days earned 650 million dollars. It should be noted that to date there is no game or movie, the first five days of sales is not earning much money. For example, the most successful film of this year, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows 2” in five days earned “only” 202 million U.S. dollars. Although some say that it is difficult to compare the sales of games, music and film products, are nevertheless very fascinating figures.
Their first billion game reached only after 16 days of sales, which surpassed even the film Avatar, which has its own billion earned in the now no longer a record 17 days. CEO of Activision Publishing Eric Hirshberg says that in some way series “Call of Duty” has become one of the few forms of entertainment that goes beyond its genre and that each new continuation continue to attract an increasing number of new players. This statement complements the award that it received the game at this year’s Spike TV VGA 2011 event, where she was declared the best shooter game this year.
