Black Ops 2 'on track for record sales' - analyst

4.5
Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 is on track to achieve record sales, according to Cowen & Company analyst Doug Creutz.

He said in a research note: "Post-holiday sales trends for BO2 have been significantly better than those for last year's Modern Warfare 3, and we expect BO2 to slightly beat the previous franchise high watermark of the original Black Ops on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 platforms across its life cycle."
Activision claimed in December that Black Ops 2 grossed $1 billion worldwide in its first 15 days of availability, a milestone reached 24 hours faster than 2011's Modern Warfare 3.

The shooter went on to be the best-selling game of last year in both the UK and the US

Activision social media manager Dan Amrich said last week that he expects 2013's entry in the Call of Duty series, which is rumoured to Modern Warfare 4, to be revealed no later than E3 in early June.

Conspiracies How can this game achieve that its the worst call of duty yet.

Yeah I don't understand why every year each games has more sales then the next when each call of duty is worse then the other.

I don't see how this cod got that many sales. It was so bad. Looks like people will just keep buying no matter what.

Euler This doesn't surprise me that much to be honest, well especially not that it's outsold MW3, seeing as that game was ****!


MW3 was pretty good for the first few months but after the first year it kind of sucked, BO2 is way better


MW3 is sooo boring

Every game is good in the beginning. All games start to hit that "boring" stage at some point

Azare BO2 wasn't close to a letdown, it was successful, and really good. League play was the only thing that could of used some improvement.


League Play was rushed, I hope it returns in "Ghosts" with many improvements.


I honestly didn't enjoy it. The ladders were a joke. There were too many people playing it. This skill gap was second to connecting so you'd get awful players and Fariko people in the same game.


Too many people playing it? How is that a bad thing?
