A controversial video game broke sales records on its opening day to make it the biggest entertainment launch in history, according to its publisher.
Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 sold 4.7 million copies in the UK and US alone within 24 hours of its launch on Tuesday, generating a revenue of £186 million.
“The Call Of Duty franchise has become a cultural phenomenon. The shattering of these entertainment records is a testament to the compelling, cinematic and uniquely engaging experience that the Call Of Duty brand delivers,” Activision’s chief executive Mike Griffith said.
