‘Black Ops’ shoots to No. 1
Take that, Harry Potter!
Activision Blizzard’s “Call of Duty: Black Ops” generated a whopping $360 million in first-day sales, the highest take ever for a video game, the company said yesterday.
That’s roughly 6 million unit sales of the $59.99 game.
The company, whose shares edged up nearly 8 cents a share to close at $11.89 yesterday, held the previous one-day sales record with $310 million in sales of last year’s “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.”
