Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is a hit. Blizzard/Activision announced yesterday the game has made $775 million in sales over a five day period.
That beat the company’s own previous record of $650 million set a year ago by Call of Duty: Black Ops. Activision had recorded $550 million two years ago for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.
The company cited Charttrack and retail customer sell-through data.
“With $775 million of sales of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 in its first five days, Call of Duty has become the first entertainment property in history to set five-day launch records for three consecutive years across all forms of entertainment,” said Activision Blizzard CEO Robert Kotick.
Life-to-date retail sales for the Call of Duty franchise have exceeded $6 billion worldwide, making it “one of the most valuable entertainment properties in the world,” he said.
