Black Ops sales jump 13,000% following Xbox One backward compatibility

4.4
Sales of the original Call of Duty: Black Ops have soared by 13,400% on Amazon following the game's addition to Xbox One backward compatibility yesterday. Sales of the budget Classics version, meanwhile, had increased by 6,877% at the time of writing.

The jump puts the Xbox 360 version of Black Ops at No.2 on Amazon's hourly PC & Video Games sales chart, sitting behind Uncharted 4: A Thief's End and ahead of DOOM. It had previously ranked at No.270 in the sales chart.

Black Ops was first announced for Xbox One's backward compatibility service last year, following its release on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC in November 2010. The game was the first in the series to introduce Call of Duty's popular Zombies feature as a separate mode, and is still regularly played by people online.

The latest game in the Black Ops franchise, Black Ops 3, launched last year, with this year's Call of Duty, Infinite Warfare, set to arrive this November.

Daniel- I hope this makes them realise that they should start bringing a lot more good games to BC but im only hoping for Mw2 that's all!


Hopefully MW2 does get brought back as this is by far my favourite Call of Duty game. :)


as mw2 was seen on the xbox one for a few hours not long ago so hopefully it wont be long before it becomes BC

Seam well they probably went from selling 1 copy in the past year to suddenly selling it to people that didnt have it. (the 13,000)


1 copy=100%. I like your math

It's a shame Sony don't plan on bringing backwards compatibility to the PS4. Strange that they haven't though about it seeing as the old PHAT 80GB PS3 consoles where backwards compatible. Almost wish I had kept my XB1 just for the games that have been added recently to the list of backwards compatible.
