Modern Warfare 2 smashes day-one sales record UPDATE: Game steams past 1m UK sales in 24 hours as it steals GTA IV's crown Activision sold 1.23 million copies of Modern Warfare 2 in the UK on the game's first day on release, MCV can reveal.

The news puts MW2 easily on course to hit the 1.7 million sales forecast by MCV last month – and means it's already matched HMV's slightly more conservative estimate.
