Modern Warfare 3 was released on Tuesday only in two regions for now and Call of Duty fans from all over the word were gathered outside the store to purchase the first-person shooting game.

According to the official sources, more than 400 million dollars were reaped this time in the first 24 hours of the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 release only from two territories which include North America and Britain. The huge success of the latest instalment
from the Activision Blizzard came after more than 6.5 million copies were sold.
