Breaks all entertainment sales records
Hey, Treyarch and Activision. We’re friends, right? We’ve known each other for awhile now. You see, Christmas is coming up. I’ve got bills to pay and gifts to buy. How ’bout sharing some of thatBLOPS2cash? What’s $10,000 out of your billion or so dollars? Nothing, right? You know where to find me.
Activision announced today thatCall of Duty: Black Ops IIhas crossed the $1 billion worldwide sales mark already. They pulled this massive number off in just 15 days, too. That beats last year’s million maker,Modern Warfare 3, by one day. It even beats feature film Avatar by a couple of days.
Here’s a brag dropped by CEO Bobby Kotick:
“The release ofCall of Dutyhas been one of the most significant entertainment events of each of the last six years. SinceCall of Dutywas 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 theCall of Dutyfranchise have exceeded worldwide theatrical box office receipts for ‘Harry Potter’ and ‘Star Wars,’ the two most successful movie franchises of all time.”
I’m playing it on the Wii U. It’s actually really good on the Wii U!
