Activision: Call of Duty: Ghosts has shipped $1 billion
"Call of Duty is by far the largest console franchise of this generation," said Activision CEO Bobby Kotick as part of the announcement – a very, very accurate assessment. "And in the last 12 months, Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, including its digital content, generated more revenues than any other console game ever has in a single year. Although it is too early to assess sell-through for Call of Duty: Ghosts, it's launching at a time when the franchise has never been more popular."
The billion dollar mark was likely chosen to contrast the game's accomplishment with that of Grand Theft Auto 5, which sold $1 billion to consumers in three days, where as Call of Duty shipped a billion dollars worth of game to retail stores. Call of Duty: Ghosts was the "most pre-ordered" game at GameStop this year.

I'm confident that GTA will win in Lifetime sales as well. If not then i will be legitimately surprised
You shouldn't be confident.
Call of Duty will always have a longer lifespan than a GTA game.

They have no reason to lie.
Releasing a statistic like this wouldn't boost their sales so they have no reason to lie.

Yes they did.
GTA didn't sell 1 billion until day 3.

Chicago-lLdoges I really didnt think they had sold so many, on Xbox only like 400k people are on live
There are 8 million people on Xbox...
