Activision sold 1.23 million copies of Modern Warfare 2 in the UK on the game's first day on release, MCV can reveal. Incredibly, that's double the number GTA IV sold through in its first 24 hours on shelves – making MW2 by far the fastest-selling video game in UK history. The figure – which represents close to one in 24 UK homes – comes from official GfK-ChartTrack data obtained by MCV.
