Call Of Duty Top-Selling Franchise For The 7th Year In A Row

4.8

The Call Of Duty Franchise has always been pulled into the dilemma of being the best FPS shooter of all. In 2016, a spark between EA’s Battlefield 1 and Activision’s Call Of Duty: Infinite Warfare set the fire between both franchises. With EA playing differently this time around by allowing gamers to experience WW1, EA definitely seemed like they’ve got the whole cake once hatred was fired at Infinite Warfare’s Trailer released on YouTube.

EA’s Battlefield 1 is indeed an amazing game that changes our perspective of our history, but according to sales figures by revenue, it seems like COD took the cake again in 2016 by becoming the top seller worldwide for 7 years in a row, and top-seller in the US for 8 years in a row, reports Kevin Kelly who is the Editorial Manager at Activision.

“Call of Duty is the #1 console franchise worldwide in 2016,” – said Eric Hirshberg, Activision CEO.

The CEO then added:

“We’re thankful to our players for once again putting Call of Duty on top, and we recognize how rare this is – to do year after year. That’s why we push to deliver innovations and incredible gameplay that are worthy of the best fans in the world time and again. And we have an exciting year ahead in 2017.”

lbreadstickl Top selling or not, I couldn't care less about cod now. Only reason I see it being the top is from all the younger kids. Now I'm only 21 lol but there's definitely a difference. All my buds love overwatch, RL, bf1 and somewhat dark souls now, but my younger cousins and his friends are always on gta and cod (not even cod 4, unfortunately).

Yea it crazy to think that we were the ones that were on COD 24 / 7 a few years ago.. now we moved onto better games (besides GTA, that's a classic).

Fadiing Battlefield Should be at the top. I See alot more people playing it than cod.

That's such bull. BF1 has almost no progression system except just unlocking the weapons. The community is dying and EA still hasnt even released their first DLC. The game is lacking severely in content. I think it is of no surprise that the game didn't sell as well as it could of.

Halo There's no way COD outsold GTA in 2013

Probably compared to other FPS genres.
