Call of Duty: Black Ops, is now the fastest-selling game of all time, raking in over 7 million sales on day one. There were 4.5 million pre-orders for the game.
According to VGChartz:
Lending some extra weight to our estimations are reports that over 4 million users have now connected to Xbox Live to play Black Ops and similarly impressive figures via PSN. Breaking the data down, we estimate over 3.6 million units were sold in the USA, 1.4 million units in the UK, over a million units in continental Europe and 350,000 units in Canada. Xbox 360 takes the largest proportion of sales with 59%, 36% for PS3 and the remainder on PC, Wii and DS.
That is an insane number. Sadly, the single-player campaign only lasts 6-8 hours, however most gamers pick up the game for the multi-player.
The PC version has been plagued with quite a few problems. Lag and video performance have been at the top of the list of complaints for PC clients, though no reports yet as to whether or not the patch that has been pushed through has fixed this.
VGAs Recap
The VGAs, as expected, were painful to watch… however the choices in nearly each category will spur a lot of discussions… mostly because so many were wrong.
