Add Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 to the list of really freakin’ cool games that I’m not going to get my hands on until at least Christmas.
AND, apparently I’m the only person who hasn’t played this game since as of the 18th of this month, Modern Warfare 2 had taken in an astounding $550 million dollars worldwide in the first five days.
Five. Days. $550 million dollars. Wow.
What’s even more impressive [and I know you're thinking, "What could be more impressive than $550 freakin' million dollars?!"] is that “Modern Warfare 2’s launch beat all previous first-and five-day entertainment industry box office, book and video game sell-through records”.
Yeah.
Beat Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, Dark Knight, Deathly Hallows and Grand Theft Auto IV.
Considering how New Moon set midnight showing records, it will be interesting to see if Modern Warfare 2 can hold onto this pretty cool distinction.
