"The Call of Duty series is estimated to have sold over 55 billion units worldwide as of November 2009" - on gamestops MW3 page. If this were true that would mean every single person in the world would have about 8 copies of CoD... does gamestop really suck at math this much?
maybe some people have it on PC and Ps3 and Xbox
Yeah someone got a bit overzealous or pressed b instead of m. They're pretty close on the keyboard.
Sounds like someone didn't get enough sleep last night...
Bet they're going to catch hell for it too.
I actually reserved two copies, but only because I didn't get the free poster from the first location due to the fact that they were "out". However, I only plan on purchasing one copy.

well they are talking about the ENTIRE CoD series. that includes:
as one of the other guys here stated that some people buy copies for multiple systems, pc, xbox, playstation, wii. Then you have to take into account how many people eventually sell their copies and then at some point rebuy them. and so on. So yes it is compeltely possible. but not all that likely
lol Modern Bullshit 2. Can't wait to not buy Modern Bullshit 3 =)
Why troll buddy?
He comes to a MW3 message board to pretend he's worth anything.
dont get me wrong I fully intend to buy MW3, Tho I cant stand MW2 because of all the issues it had. even if some of them were fixed, they lasted to long and left a bad impression.
It is incorrect. In 2009 they had sold 55 Million units of the COD series so there is no way to achieve the numbers Gamestop misquoted. The big question is.......... do you think MW3 will surpass the record MW2 set, 4.7 million copies sold in the first 24 hours after release?
Easily.
Just a typo... ![]()
As of November 27, 2009, Call Of Duty games had sold 55 million copies for $3 billion in revenue
FYI... Black Ops holds the sales records, not MW2.
According to Activision, its publisher, just five days after its release the game has generated more than $650 million in worldwide sales, beating out Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, which smashed previous sale records when it was released last year.
Thanks. I stand corrected. I totally over looked Black Ops, I guess it's merely the excitement of MW3 being so close to release.
Every time i got to a midnight release i get free stuff my game stop rok but im palls with the boss lmao
Im old. Midnight is past my bedtime. I'll get tuesday and play in my office.
Those are some crazy numbers.
Maybe they meant $55 Billion in sales? Although I'm pretty sure that number wouldn't be correct either..
Note: they said CALL OF DUTY SERIES!!!
There are 8 games in the series now. I don't doubt that the number could be legit.

They haven't sold $55 billion...
It was a typo on the number of units sold...
"As of November 27, 2009, Call Of Duty games had sold 55 million copies for $3 billion in revenue"

PS. I thought the OP had said 55 million copies.
