| ckmlb said: Call of Duty's success is overwhelming, has it passed Halo yet when you combine platforms? Edit: Call of Duty and Assassin's Creed sales are extremely important for PS3 and guarantee that most of the big 3rd party games will be multiplatform, Farcry 2 and Left4Dead latest indincations of this. Also it proves that Sony needs to continue supporting (with ads) big 3rd party releases like they did with AC and COD, and like how MS does with even mid size 3rd party games. |
They just announced 7 million units of CoD4 sold LTD, all platforms combined. It'll eventually slightly outsell halo 3, IMHO. Add in the budget relaunch and it'll eventually hit 10 million LTD. That'll mean around 250 million $ revenue for ActiBlizzion. It's impressive - actually it's so impressive it boggles the mind Treyarc's CoD5 scheduled for fall 08 will be set again in the WW2.
Still, the whole issue gives you an idea of how massive Halo 3 - yet remaining a single-console exclusive, it's neck and neck to one of the best performing multiplatforms ever.
