Haters gonna hate, maybe, but everybody else is gonna buy, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 sold almost ten million copies on day one, beating the previous day one sales record holder Call of Duty: Black Ops, which beat the previous day one sales record holder, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (etc.).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

According to a report over on VGChartz<\/a>, the game sold 9.3 million copies across all platforms, with more than half of those on Xbox<\/a>, followed by PS3<\/a>, with PC and Wii<\/a> coming in a distant last at only 4% of total sales (or around 370 000 units combined).<\/p>\n

The article also notes a pretty impressive fact \u2013 with 87 million Call of Duty games sold to date, and projected sales of 12 to 13.5 million in its launch week, Modern Warfare 3 is probably going to take that to 100 million by next Tuesday.<\/p>\n

In related news, Battlefield 3 didn\u2019t make much of a dent in Modern Warfare 3\u2019s sales.<\/p>\n
