Well according to Activision, Black Ops gossed $650 million in just the first 5 days compared to Modern Warfare 2′s $550 Million set last year. Bobby Kotick of Activision had this to say…
“Call of Duty has become the first entertainment property in history to set five-day launch records for two consecutive years across all forms of entertainment.”
