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."

CrysisYT Wow. That is crazy. Some people may hate COD. Some people may love it, but whether you love it or hate it you can't deny it is the most successful gaming franchise we have ever seen.


Agreed. Call of Duty just gets better and better every year. Not trying to act like a fanboy here, but that's just what I notice in the sales.

It isn't easy to do the spawns you understand that right?
