Call Of Duty: Black Ops Blows Away the Competition
Call Of Duty: Black Ops has blows away the competition in the charge for games sales.
According to the video games publisher Activision, Call of Duty: Black Ops, the latest version in the war game series Call Of Duty has been the biggest launch in the history of entertainment.
Big and bold claims for sure considering the powerhouse that is the movie and TV worlds but it is hard to argue with the figures.
The latest instalment is called Call of Duty: Black Ops and Activision say that it has earned a whopping $360 million in its opening day…yes, that is day, in North America and the UK alone.
5.6 million copies were sold beating the previous holder of the record, coincidently the previous game in the series Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, which sold 4.7 million copies and earned an almost as staggering $310 million.
Activision’s CEO Bobby Kotick said in a statement that he expects the 5 day sales to top the previous releases $550 million (and yes, that’s over $1/2 billion in 5 days).
Considering Christmas is only just starting to gear up it looks like Activision is going to bust the down turn in a spectacular way.
