Black Ops II grosses $1 billion in 15 days

4.6
Several days after industry analysts started to doubt the sales figures of Black Ops II and the future of the Call of Duty franchise, Activision remove all skepticism.

Just 15 days after the launch of Black Ops II, it has crossed the $1 billion mark in worldwide sales. By comparison, last year's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 reached $1 billion in retail sales in 16 days. The box office record for feature films set by “Avatar" in 2009, was $1 billion in 17 days

“The release of Call of Duty® has been one of the most significant entertainment events of each of the last six years," said Bobby Kotick, CEO of Activision Blizzard.
"Since Call of Duty was launched, cumulative franchise revenues from players around the world are greater than current worldwide box office receipts to date for the top-10 grossing films of 2012 combined. Life-to-date sales for the Call of Duty franchise have exceeded worldwide theatrical box office receipts for 'Harry Potter' and 'Star Wars,' the two most successful movie franchises of all time."

Fios That's crazy! So much in such little time.


It is crazy how it sold so much. I don't think any other game has made that much in that time.

Activ8 The game is OK. I don't think it's any better than other cods, but that's my opinion.


I agree 100%
Other than a few different game modes, a new campaign that can be beaten in a few hours, new maps and weapons, and a broken theater mode, there really is no difference between Black Ops 2 and the rest of the Call of Dutys. The only thing I really enjoyed was zombies, but I didn't pay $60 for that alone... Though they come out with over $1billion so I suppose it doesn't matter.

However, for the next time Activision/Treyarch please be a little more creative and stop copying the same game over and over.

That amount is just insane, just wait for the Christmas sales.

I personally think it is up there, but I might be a little biased because I love zombies.
