Black Ops sales jump 13,000% following Xbox One backward compatibility

4.4
Sales of the original Call of Duty: Black Ops have soared by 13,400% on Amazon following the game's addition to Xbox One backward compatibility yesterday. Sales of the budget Classics version, meanwhile, had increased by 6,877% at the time of writing.

The jump puts the Xbox 360 version of Black Ops at No.2 on Amazon's hourly PC & Video Games sales chart, sitting behind Uncharted 4: A Thief's End and ahead of DOOM. It had previously ranked at No.270 in the sales chart.

Black Ops was first announced for Xbox One's backward compatibility service last year, following its release on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC in November 2010. The game was the first in the series to introduce Call of Duty's popular Zombies feature as a separate mode, and is still regularly played by people online.

The latest game in the Black Ops franchise, Black Ops 3, launched last year, with this year's Call of Duty, Infinite Warfare, set to arrive this November.

CriticaI I believe this game and the cod4 remake might save the cod community.
They just need to reset the servers to get rid of all the hackers.


I think you might be right sir, black ops is such a good game

I believe it. Black Ops was popular as hell back in the day.

They really need to either remaster or make MW2 & MW3 backwars compatible!

EchoPosted:

Maybe they should stop the development of infinite warfare and put their time into MW2,MW3 or BO2 remaster. Give the people what they want

That's awesome that this game is finally backwards compatable. Too bad I recently sold my Xbox One. I still have my PS4 though.

Daniel- I hope this makes them realise that they should start bringing a lot more good games to BC but im only hoping for Mw2 that's all!


Hopefully MW2 does get brought back as this is by far my favourite Call of Duty game. :)


as mw2 was seen on the xbox one for a few hours not long ago so hopefully it wont be long before it becomes BC
