175 Million Call of Duty Games Have Now Been Sold Worldwide
That comes out to around one copy sold every two seconds, Activision said.
By comparison, Take-Two's Grand Theft Auto series has sold more than 185 million copies.
Other franchises to have sold more than 100 million units include household names such as LEGO, Mario, Pokemon, Need for Speed, Final Fantasy, and FIFA.
Meanwhile, Microsoft has sold 60 million Halo games while Konami has shifted 33 million Metal Gear Solid titles, according to each publisher's latest count.
Going back to the Call of Duty infographic, over 100 billion multiplayer matches have been played so far, while players have chucked more than 300 billion grenades. On top of that, players have earned 579 billion in-game awards, which is more than five times the number of stars in the Milky Way galaxy.
The next Call of Duty game, in development at Black Ops creator Treyarch, will be released later this year. Activision announced the title during an earnings call earlier this year. Little is known about the game, but Activision historically blows the lid off new Call of Duty games in May, so gamers may not have to wait much longer to learn more about it.

That amount of units sold is really impressive and despite what people may think about Call of Duty itself, it really does show just how big a contender the video game industry is to traditional media entertainments. Black Ops 2 was a personal favorite for me, having the most enjoyable multiplayer and a really fulfilling Zombies game type, I'm looking forward to seeing what Treyarch will be doing next.
