Games That Made Most Money At Launch

The Call of Duty franchise is, predictably, a sales juggernaut. And while numbers have started to fall over the years, the series still pulls in a lot of money with every release. At the time Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 arrived on the scene, the Call of Duty series was still very much on the up-swing. Its launch figures crushed that of the previous title, Call of Duty: Black Ops. The game took $400 million in day one sales, a record at the time.

The game continued on where Modern Warfare 2 left off, with its campaign picking up right after the end of the last game.
