Call of Duty Sales Hit $3 Billion

November 28, 2009 in Industry News comments 14

Wow, that is a lot of money, Infinity Ward has made $3 Billion Dollers from the entire Call of Duty series, that is an insane amount of money!

And they still want more money.

Activision's Call of Duty franchise has passed the $3 billion sales mark.

Acitivision has announced that the Call of Duty franchise has passed three billion dollars in global sales following the release of Modern Warfare 2 and it's estimated $550 million in sales in its first week. Acitivision also said that the franchise had sold over 55 million units since its creation in 2003.

"If you consider the number of hours our audiences are engaged in playing 'Call of Duty' games, it is likely to be one of the most viewed of all entertainment experiences in modern history," said Acitivision boss Bobby Kotick.

With Activision rumored to be adding a third studio to the development team, it seems that the juggernaut that is Call of Duty is in little danger of slowing down.

    How about they put some of that money into improving the PSN network!
    Since the new MW2 came out, it has been horrible!

          MW2 plays on the PSN, Xbox Live, and PC. The PSN isn't ActiVision's problem...it sounds like Crimson is saying for them to put money into the PSN, that's up to Sony.

    Seriously, How many more MW2 articles are needed? I wish this game would stop being hyped even after release!

      Well to be fair, this is about the entire CoD series, and not just MW2.

      Its about the Call of Duty series in general and MW2 has been a massive hit worldwide and I think that it is a very gopod game. If you don't like, don't read the articles.

    Congratulations to the creators I must say. Cod is an amazing series and is still going strong today. And the PSN has nothing to do with Activision.
