Call of Duty tops 250M units sold worldwide

4.6
Call of Duty has sold so many copies you could probably construct some sort of super fort out of them.

Following on from word that Black Ops 3 was the best-selling game in the US in 2015, Activision has announced Call of Duty franchise sales have topped 250 million units worldwide.

Summoned from the labyrinthine corridors of Activision by the clarion call of the NPD, Call of Duty franchise general manager Rob Kostich said Black Ops 3 was the best-selling title of 2015 globally by a “wide-margin in both units and dollars”.

“This also marks the seventh year in a row that Call of Duty has been the #1 selling franchise in North America, according to NPD,” he said.

“In fact, Call of Duty has surpassed 250 million units sold life-to-date worldwide. This achievement is thanks to the amazing experiences created by all of our development teams, and would not be possible without the incredible passion from the Call of Duty community.”

Kostich said Activision is looking forward to “what’s to come” in 2016, presumably referring to Infinity Ward’s next effort. It’ll be the first time the team has had a three year cycle so expect a refreshed feel from the original* Call of Duty crew.

If people complain that they want old call of duty's back, the game will get boring with the same stuff and people will want newer stuff...
They bring out newer stuff and people complaint hat they want the old stuff.
It's hard to please everyone...

Katsumi That's insane. As much as people hate on Call of Duty the franchise has been an epic commercial success


this isnt much for all of the games.. skyrim is literally next to it, with one game sold


Haha, no it's not! Skyrim isn't even close to selling as many units as call of duty.. I'm not sure where you read that but Skyrim has only sold a little over 20 million units. Call of duty has sold over 250 million units. Amost 13x more than Skyrim.


Pretty much this.

And regardless of the success of other games, shipping 250 mil units is an astounding number form a purely commercial standpoint

54m for GTAV is super impressive though.



Haha, a skyrim is 1 game. 250 million for how many games? yeah i thought so(don't forget hand held games).
look who it is again, the daily spammer. Go back and spam the tuts.


Stop riding Bethesda's dick and look up some facts child. Sure CoD has produced more titles than the elder scrolls series but almost every single CoD title has outsold their elder scrolls counterpart. Be happy that a franchise is hitting a major goal considering the fact that almost every single person on this website contributed to that number. This website was built from the huge influence the CoD community had on it and it's hilarious to see the CoD hate circlejerk on here considering that TTG would've never taken off without modded lobbies and the rest of the CoD community.
