First Week World at War Sales Set a Call of Duty Record

Jim "txshurricane" McLaughlin November 19th, 2008 at 10:07 AM

The first week sales of Call of Duty: World at War have outsold Call of Duty 4's debut by more than 2 to 1.

This new info comes from gamesindustry.biz, who claim that 4-player co-op title World at War is also currently the top seller overall in the United Kingdom.

This makes perfect sense to us! Games with online co-op require co-op partners, and apparently there are plenty of those in Europe.

A quick search for North America sales rendered nothing yet; perhaps it's still too early, or maybe we just don't have the most advanced source.

Unsurprisingly, Guitar Hero World Tour and Gears of War 2 also made it onto the list, which can be viewed after the "Read More" link.

I think it's to do with ALOT of people coming new into the CoD franchise at #4 and wanting/expecting something just as stellar with another release. Which I hear it is, I just haven't played it yet.
