Activision is in business of making digital media but as of November you would think they where a part of the Department of Treasury. In just 5 short days Activision’s latest video game Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 pulled in an estimated $550 million dollars in gross sales. To give you an idea of just how EPIC that is let’s take a look at some of the top media product launches to date:

• The largest reported five-day opening worldwide box office gross figures, held by Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince ($394 million)
• The largest reported five-day opening domestic box office gross figures, held by The Dark Knight ($203.8 million)
• The largest reported five-day worldwide video game sales record, previously held by Grand Theft Auto IV (6 million units, $500 million)
• The largest reported opening first-day domestic box office gross figures, held by The Dark Knight ($66.4 million)
• The largest reported first-day book sales in dollars, held by Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows ($220 million)
• The largest reported first-day worldwide video game sales record, previously held by Grand Theft Auto IV (3.6 million units, $310 million)

With these kind of numbers it’s pretty safe to say that they will reach the Billion Dollar mark before Christmas. Excuse me while I wipe the drool from my keyboard. Clap for em’…….
