Call of Duty: Black Ops Sells 7 Million Copies on Day One​
According to early VGChartz estimates, Call of Duty: Black Ops has become the fastest-selling game of all time with over 7 million units sold on day one following over 4.5 million preorders as reported earlier in the week. If the 7 million for Black Ops holds true, it would make the launch around 10% larger than Modern Warfare 2 and the biggest of all time.

Lending some extra weight to our estimations are reports that over 4 million users have now connected to Xbox Live to play Black Ops and similarly impressive figures via PSN. Breaking the data down, we estimate over 3.6 million units were sold in the USA, 1.4 million units in the UK, over a million units in continental Europe and 350,000 units in Canada. Xbox 360 takes the largest proportion of sales with 59%, 36% for PS3 and the remainder on PC, Wii and DS.

game is very badly optimized - getting continuous stuttering and freeze.

its so bad its not even playable.

its a memory leak issue where the game is using the cpu more than it should - thats what i gathered from the rage posts in forums.

hopefully that would be fixed in a patch,

as far as servers are concerned - there are no servers in or around India.i'm getting around 170 ping to some euro , aussie and jap servers.thats the lowest.
 
It doesn't come as a surprise to me. It should shortly outsell MW2 in terms of the total sales. The game had such an uber storyline. Only to be marred by the stuttering issues on some systems.
 
The stuttering issue is being addressed by treyarch..We can expect a patch in a day or two..! All speculations lead to something being wrong with steam/steamcloud/vac but these are jus speculations..

Dude not the same thing again. They don't make much of a profit from Indian markets anyway so it's fine if they do not release it here.
 
I find it amazing that people have been cribbing more and more (including me :p) about the COD series since Modern Warfare and yet the game keeps selling in ridiculous numbers.

A lot of people said MW2 was the last straw. With such sales almost guaranteed to Activision and the developer, I don't see any incentive for them to work any harder to deliver a quality game.

Black Ops is a very good example as can be seen from the poor optimization for PC. Even after the patch went out quite a lot of people are facing performance issues.
