Did he just compare Black Ops to Avatar? To be frank, I found both to be quite mediocre and overtired franchises. Quite depressing to see the markets limited to mammoths such as that.

Avatar is a franchise?

Black Ops won't even come close to Avatar in terms of revenue.it will be lucky to do HALF the money Avatar brought in.

No but it's concept was ridiculously overdone and tired, so might as well be, I think someone even used a primary school story template to show how the director came up with it. Really beyond the visuals there is nothing "unique" about it.

The same could be said of the Harry Potter movies (very simple tired old kiddie cliches for a story), but I'm guessing since those are politically correct suddeenly you'll take offense.

 

At $60 a game, by my accounting Blops has sold (shipped?) 16.66 million copies now?

Of course higher priced special edition sales will bring that number down...then again any black friday type sales  where the price was less than $60 might bring it back up...surprised Activision/MS didn't do another COD bundle console (that could have really spiked revenue if counted at $400 a pop).

I don't like Harry Potter either but there was no mention of it in the article so I decided not to mention it, but it's even more of a cliche franchise than the two of those combined.

By the way there is like no way to account how many copies were sold, even estimations would probably be way off as the PC and Wii versions are about $10-20 cheaper than the HD
