We’ve all guaranteed heard about Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, and if you haven’t its time to stop living under a rock. It has become one of the most popular video game series available and now it is also becoming one of the top sold video games around.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 only released in November and it has already topped one billion dollars in retail sales. That is a lot of cash for one video game. Now this is the sales world wide, but if you think about it, that is a lot of money for one video game to earn in only two months time.
With such great success Activision released a statement…
“Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has exceeded our expectations and shattered theatrical box office and video game records,” stated Robert Kotick, CEO of Activision Blizzard. “There are only a handful of entertainment properties that have ever reached the $1 billion mark, which illustrates the power of the Call of Duty franchise and mass appeal of this game.”
Even if you are not someone that overly likes this game we have to say, amazing. It is not too often that a video game reaches such great success over a short period of time. Now this makes us wonder, will the next Call of Duty game be able to match this success? Activision has really made a match for themselves and have a lot of work to do if they expect to out due Modern Warfare 2.
