Modern Warfare 3 grosses $775 million worldwide, breaks five-day sales record

Activision announced today that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 shattered the five-day sales record for movies, books, and video games, grossing $775 million worldwide. That beats the $650 million last year's Black Ops grossed in the same period, and the $550 million 2009's Modern Warfare 2 grossed. 

Modern Warfare 3 also broke two Xbox Live records: having the most concurrent players logged on with 3.3 million unique gamers on launch day, November 8, and clocking in more than 7.0 million multiplayer hours by the end of launch day.

Last year's Black Ops clocked in 5.9 million hours on launch day and had 2.6 million gamers logged on.
