01. Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 (360, PS3, PC, Wii U) Activision Blizzard – 7.5M (We know that PS3/360 accounted for 7.4M, and PC > Wii U. MW3 did 9 million, BLOPS 8.4, and MW2 did 6.1 million. This had one less week than normal.)
02. Halo 4 (360) Microsoft – 3.2M (Reach and Halo 3 did 3.3 million, but with about half or less the days. I’m unclear on if this counts bundles.)
03. Assassin’s Creed III (360, PS3, Wii U, PC) Ubisoft – 2.9M (The previous three games did around 1.1-1.3 million in their opening month. This is insane growth.)
