In a report today, Black Ops broke the single day sales record for a new game release with 5.6 million units.  It broke the record held by fellow Activision title Call of Duty:  Modern Warfare 2 (4.7 millon units).  This works out to a nice haul of about $360 million dollars in one day.  Activision is looking to rake in 550 million dollars over the first five days the game is out.

As you know, we picked up the game this week too.  So far we are loving it and will give you some reports on it next week!

Thanks to CNN.com for the sales figures.
