Modern Warfare 2 Sells over 1.2 Million, In One Day, In the UK

[Vidboy10]

This should give you an idea of what to expect during next month's NPD figures: it's been announced that in the first 24 hours on sale, Modern Warfare 2 sold 1.2 million units in the United Kingdom.

Seeing as almost any other game on the planet would take 1.2 million as a great worldwide figure, for a month, for Modern Warfare 2 to have managed it in a single country over a 24 hour period speaks volumes as to how much cash is flowing into Activision HQ right now.

Most likely, since companies like to use any excuse to boost their number of sales.

Another game that was well prepared due to commercials, ads, and G4TV. Seriously, when are we going to see 1 million unit on a game that wasn't advertise like every 5 goddamn minutes!
