Activision has announced that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 passed the $1 billion sales plateau on the 8th November 2011. The publisher was pleased to note that the mark was achieved in just 16 days, beating out James Cameron's blockbuster 3D film Avatar's mark of 17 days.

It didn't take long for some players to try to cheat or exploit Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, and out of the millions of people who purchased the game, 1600 of them have already been banned for cheating.

If preliminary reports are to be believed, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is shaping up to be another Call of Duty mega-blockbuster, as it seems the title has sold an astounding 9.3M units on the very first day. This would be the largest videogame launch in history. The Xbox 360 version alone reportedly sold 5M day one units.

UPDATE: Activision has announced 6.5M day one sales, which is still a record breaker.

The Nielsen Report has released its "Top 20 Games to Watch" list, which analyzes what games are the most highly anticipated for the holiday season, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 tops the charts.
