Battlefield 3 was not able to make its goal in beating Treyarchs record in number of copies sold in the first week, October 31.
Many people believe this was due to the curse that haunted over Battlefield during the first week. They had numerous technical problems and that could do nothing but have hurt their chances in beating the long-standing Call of Duty: Black Ops record.
Treyarch was able to gross an outstanding $650 million in the first five days. They also sold over 7 million copies in the first day crushing Battlefields standing at 5 million copies in the first week.
A new hope would soon arrive though, Modern Warfare 3
