Call of Duty MW2 game sells $550 million in five days

And they say we are in a recession.  sheesh

Activision did not say how many units were sold in the period. Last week it said it sold 4.7 million copies for sales of $310 million on its first day in the U.S. and United Kingdom alone.

Analysts' sales estimates for the $60 game range from 11 million to 13 million units by the end of 2009. There is plenty at stake for Activision since "Call of Duty" is likely to account for a sizable chunk of the company's profits in the fourth quarter, analysts say.

The sad part most movies in the theater don't do this well, granted movie tickets aren't 60bux but you'll almost spend that much after food and drinks.

Something to think about.
