Activision’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 had sales of $310 million in North America and the UK alone in just 24 hours.
After just 5 days, the game had racked up sales of a staggering $550 million in the US and the UK alone.
Meanwhile, the Avatar video game bombed.

It’s kind of unfair comparing video game revenuews to movie revenues. Video games run for $50 a pop at least, while average movie ticket price is listed at $7.18. So it takes 49 million tickets for Avatar to make $352 million, while it only takes 11 million buys for Call of Duty to make $550 million.
