That's right, folks. It's been on the cards, and now Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, the most eagerly-awaited release since, well, Blacks Ops, has shattered the unprecedented sales numbers of its predecessor, having sold 6-and-a-half million units in its first 24 hours - and that's just in the US and UK.
Just a year after Call of Duty: Black Ops shattered video game sales records by selling over 7 million copies in its first 24 hours, its successor - Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 - has obliterated the franchise’s own sales record by reportedly selling 9.3 million copies in the first 24 hours. The game is now set to become the highest selling game of all time.
With many gamers poised to queue to the early hours tonight in order to grab the latest iteration of Call of Duty, it's only right that we report on a little console rumor roundup - focusing specifically on the next-gen Xbox.
Grand Theft Auto V (GTA V) was announced on October 25th about two weeks ago and we got our first look at it on November 2nd just four days ago. While the trailer was very short and it seemed that it did not reveal much about the game, but if you looked closely enough, you would’ve found a lot of references to previous games in the series and you would’ve found out what to expect from the title when it releases next year. Still, even if you didn’t look closely enough, that won’t be an issue since we will analyze the most minute details after the jump.
