Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 posted huge numbers of Xbox Live on launch day, with 7 million multiplayer hours logged by the end of launch day, 3.3 million unique players and a new record for concurrent Xbox Live users, but Sony was sure to point out today that Activision's blockbuster also saw plenty of action on the PlayStation Network.
Sony did not provide a usage breakdown like Microsoft did, but the company noted that it's been driving millions to PSN overall.
"In just over a week, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 has been hugely successful on PlayStation 3, and continues to drive millions of gamers globally to PlayStation Network with its unprecedented and engaging online multiplayer experience," said Jack Tretton, President and CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment of America. "The Call of Duty franchise is one of the biggest entertainment brands on the planet, delivering gameplay experiences like no other which is why we're also excited to bring the Call of Duty franchise to our highly-anticipated next generation portable, PlayStation Vita, where we expect fans will continue their dedication to the most amazing Call of Duty experiences whether in the home or on the go."
