COD: Black Ops - Biggest Game Release Ever?

It not like nobody saw this coming.

The video game publisher estimates the first-person shooter Call of Duty: Black Ops pulled in $360 million on its opening day in North America and the U.K.

Activision says 5.6 million copies of the highly-anticipated action game were sold. By comparison, last year's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 -- the previous "biggest entertainment launch in history" -- pulled in $310 million on launch day and sold 4.7 million copies.

Not only does this set records in single game sales but also marks back to back sales records for Call of Duty releases.   Now I just need to set aside some time to play.
