There has been a lot of controversy over the launch of the game, mainly due to one level where the player kills civilians in an airport terror attack, and there have even been politicians speaking out against the game,  which has obviosuly boosted sales and given it plenty of free publicity.

    i believe there is a typo:

    “4.7 million copies in the US and UK, in the first 24 hours, making it the fastest selling game, a record which was previously held by GTA IV which took a massive $310 million in its first 24 hours in May 2008.”

    4.7 million is greater than 310 million.

    edit:

    4.7 million ISNT greater than 310 million
