Activision announced today that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 has earned one billion dollars in its first sixteen days on sale. This beats the record of James Cameron's film Avatar, which crossed the billion dollar mark in seventeen days back in 2010.
Whoopee.

Average price of MW3 game: $60
Average price of Avatar movie ticket: $8

Hmm, let's see:

$1000000000 divided by $60 = 166 666 67 copies of MW3 sold

&

$1000000000 divided by $8 = 125 000 000 movie tickets sold.

So to compare the two is a stupid comparison.

As for the game itself, well after winning a copy of MW3 and about 30% of the way through the SP and not having touched the MP yet, I can safely say that BF3 is the better game by a universal mile!
