Not bad for a borked (on release) PC title

Call of Duty: Black Ops demolished the release record set last year by Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. In the USA and UK, combine sales for the first 24 hours totalled $ 360 million (R 2.5 billion in local currency). This works out to around $ 50 million more than MW2’s sales over the same time period, according to Activision

Never under estimate the power of dedicated servers

But this is the release day sales. It doesnt mean the game will sell as well as MW2. Time will tell on that one.
