Call of Duty: Black Ops sets record of £400m in 5 days
The publishers of Call of Duty: Black Ops say the game has "shattered" the previous record for biggest entertainment release of all time.
It's beaten everything from the biggest blockbuster movies to the best selling albums.
Activision has released sales figures showing the game made more than £400 million in its first five days.
It comes just one year after the game's predecessor, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, set the previous record.
It made £340 million in the same period.
The company's CEO Robert Kotick said: "Call of Duty has become the first entertainment property in history to set five-day launch records for two consecutive years across all forms of entertainment.
The title's success illustrates the mass appeal of interactive entertainment as millions of consumers are choosing to play (the game) at unprecedented levels."
According to Microsoft the game also set two new records for Xbox Live.
More than 5.9 million multiplayer hours were logged playing the game by the end of launch day (9 November).
In all more than 2.6 million gamers played it on launch day.
Set during the Cold War this time-hopping edition takes players to locations like Hong Kong, Vietnam, Cuba and Russia.
But it is facing competition in the first person shooter genre in the run-up to Christmas.
Other traditionally successful titles like Halo and Medal of Honor have also released new editions over the last couple of months, although neither has come close to the kind of figures being generated by Black Ops.

booorrrring....

I enjoy FPS games but the whole army style version has been flogged to death; they've ran out of ideas for WWII so now they're using every other war since then! Let's talk about Rockstar instead, they released the first trailer this week for LA Noire, a crime detective story set in the infamous 1940s!!! Here's the video:

The tech into the face animation is amazing (it's not animation but a 360 degree viedo of the actor's face, no animation involved!!!)

It says you can embed facebook video but it didn't work?
