It is with regret that the Department of Electronic Entertainment makes this announcement regarding the financial health of the gaming industry based on sales numbers recently released by Activision.

In their most recent financial statement, Activision has confirmed that Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 failed to earn even a single Billion dollars in sales after its first five days on the market. The press release regarding opening week sales verifies that Modern Warfare 3 only made $775,000,000.00 during the week after it launched

    they where never expected to reach 1billion till 2weeks.
    still number one game of 2011 on pre orders alone and it is the number 1 pre order game ever. it has sold 400% more then bf3. only fair to add a counter speech on the subject.

    only made 750million lol.. bf3 thats been out for almost a full month is still not even half of that. why do you even care how much they made? you got stocks in them or other side? why does it matter ?

    the only thing matters to me is simple is the game worth paying for and going to add value to my life or my entertainment.

    "Is the game worth paying for" In my opinion, no. Maybe if it was the price of DLC for MW2, because essentially that's what it is.

      15$ for 16 multiplayer maps, a new campaign, a new Spec-Ops survival mode with four difficulties stretched over the 16 multiplayer maps, it's own leveling system, and 16 or so co-op compatible missions, a new killstreak system for multiplayer, a theater mode, daily and weekly challenges, a weapon leveling system, weapon proficiencies, some new game modes, new perks, weapons, attachments, and equipment?

      Count me in on that deal. Sounds damn good.
