The latest US sales say that Black Ops has sold 8.4 million copies combined on Xbox 360, Playstation 3, Wii, PC and DS since it's release last month. Is it possible it will be the best selling game this year?

    This isn't actually much of a surprise to me. The CoD series has always been extremely popular and just about everyone I know says that they either have it or are going to get it.

    Kind of misleading as NPD hasn't always been there to track sales. I'm guessing they didn't include PC games either, as I'm sure the The Sims/2 would be on there if they did. Nor did they include console-bundled games, otherwise Wii Sports would be on there. Plus it's US only...

    Just goes to show you don't have to make a really good game to have it sell like this.

      Only reason that it sold so many is because Call of Duty is one of the most overrated series.

        Yeah and no one really likes Call of Duty, just how no one actually likes iPhones or VW Jettas.

          Look at it this way: Ask people what they like about the things you're talking about...most will say "well everyone else has em so it's fun". The exception I suppose is the Jetta, which is just popular in America because it's simple relative to most German cars.
