Activision Studios: Sledghammer Games and Infinity Ward’s Joint venture “Modern Warfare 3″ has just busted though yet another record, beating out Avatar (the movie) for generating over $1,000,0000,000 in sales the fastest. Avatar did it in 17 days, which MW3 beat by ONE day. Congratulations Activision, now lets take some of that money and apply it towards getting ELITE to work properly $ounds like a good idea to me, LOL. Really though great job guys/gals.
Partial Press release below.

Press Release:

SANTA MONICA, Calif., Dec. 12, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Activision Publishing, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Activision Blizzard, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI), announced today that Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare™ 3 crossed the $1 billion mark in sales since its launch on November 8, 2011, according to Charttrack and retail customer sell-through information. Highlighting the trend of interactive entertainment gaining a greater hold of audiences worldwide, the game achieved this milestone in just 16 days, eclipsing the record set in 2009 by the feature film “Avatar,” which reached the $1 billion milestone in 17 days.

While 2011 box office revenue is on the decline — down 4 percent this year at $9.4 billion, compared with $9.8 billion in 2010 — the number of people purchasing and participating in gaming is on the rise, with no sign of slowing.(1) With more than 30 million gamers, the Call of Duty community now exceeds the combined populations of the cities of New York, London, Tokyo, Paris and Madrid.

Finally got the Xbox 360 “CODBUNKER” CLAN up and going. Just purchased the ELITE membership, so it’s not showing my 500xp yet (takes up to 24hrs) as most of you know I primarily play on PS3; however, now with this ELITE CLAN thing ( I think it’s kewl as shiznit) I plan on hit’n up Xbox more often, maybe 40% ish. Mainly cuz as I’ve stated to those in my PS3 CLAN that I think this would be a kewl opportunity to build a large CLAN of great players…..TEAM PLAYERS, and maybe have inter CLAN wars to build a MAJOR LEAGUE team from inside of the CLAN! If this sounds interesting to you, leave your GT (gamer tag) in comment below. Read the rest of the post first though

The WHOLE CLAN will get 500 Xp for every ELITE Founder who joins us as their first clan.
ALSO: We all get Double CLAN XP for every Elite Founder that joins in the future
Furthermore, we will also unlock a lot of kewl things!

BEST DAMN CLAN IN THE LAND!

I think as a guideline to start of withis: all members should have a POSITIVE KDR and a POSITIVE Win Ratio and maintatin those. There will be some exceptions for those that are close on one, but skewed higher on the other, and some cases where there is closeness on both side……very close. To CODBUNKER, KDR is not AS important as WINNING!!! We like to WIN as a TEAM, at all costs. But establishing just this very basic “bylaw” we will build a STRONG CLAN, and will “Democratically” select other “bylaws” rules, etc. AS A TEAM

Lastley, if you don’t wanna join the soon to be COOLEST/GREATEST CLAN in the Call of Duty world, you can join others or create your own. But you have to promise to have FUN

OH, and don’t laugh I’m a noob level 1 at moment on Xbox (Almost Prestige 3 on PS3) so it’s time I rank up on the Xbox
