They say that every time you drink a glass of water, odds are good that you’re drinking at least one atom that went through Oliver Cromwell’s bladder at some point. And by they we mean scientists, so it’s true. Doesn’t take much of a logic leap (the most dangerous kind) to deduce that in the coming years, every time you buy a pack of gum, your currency unit of choice probably saw duty as payment for Call Of Duty Black Ops at one point in one way, shape or form. Especially when you take look one at these sales figures. No, these other sales figures below.

$650 million in five days, punking Modern Warfare 2 by 100 million over the same period. Eurogamer reckons judging by the numbers released earlier, that this means around 10 million copies sold to date. Embarassing publicity aside, add in publisher figures that put 2.6 million players at the scene of the crime, racking up 5.9 million hours multiplayer time on launch day and you’ve got plenty of Black Ops numbers to play around with, about all of them completely bonkers. Probably safe to say Activision will sell a lot of DLC too.
