Don't know about the others, but from the WoW site:

World of Warcraft Shatters Records - Block on 12/01/04

Within its first day of release, World of Warcraft sold more than 240,000 copies -- the highest day-one total in PC game history. See the full press release to learn more about World of Warcraft's launch-day achievements

Didn't Halo 2 have 1.5 million pre-orders or something?

yea it was atleast that. if i remember correctly, from the MSN link on November 11th, Halo 2 sold more copies within 1 day than any other game in history, not to mention more than any other MOVIE (as in DVD, not theatre release). it was about 2.38 million i believe. thats pretty good, considering Halo 2 is about 3x - 4x more than DVD's cost.

I thought the Metal Gears sold and made records especially number 2. Doesnt seem like #3 was Advertised as much.
