Activision didn’t break out Modern Warfare’s first-day sales, but it’s a fair guess they didn’t beat Black Ops 2 in 2012, which sold a staggering $500 million in its first day of release. While Modern Warfare has sales numbers backing up its blockbuster status, it still isn’t the most successful entry in the Call of Duty franchise. More recently, Black Ops 4 (2018) and Call of Duty: World War 2 (2017), both had sales of around $500 million in their first three days of release. The generation’s previous high watermark for the series had been 2015’s Black Ops 3, which saw sales totaling $550 million in its first three days. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare topped $600 million in sales in its first three days of release, Activision said Wednesday morning, which makes this the highest-selling game in the Call of Duty franchise on this console generation.
