this is shipped..not sold..how does this compare to other COD's?


since no one is answering our questions,...  i googled it.

 

"Activision announced today Call of Duty Black Ops 2 made $500 million on its first day at retail, eclipsing the franchise's previous record of $400 million as set by Modern Warfare 3 last year. Back then Modern Warfare 3 sold 6.5 million copies in the US and UK to make that figure, suggesting even greater numbers of copies sold this time around."

..the cake thread is a lie.


So BO2 has the record for actually sellig $500m..and Ghosts shipped 1B in a day...so I guess its unknown how much they actually sold. My real question was how much did BO2, MW3 and BO ship to retail?

Activision can never keep a franchise going for more than ten years because they keep focusing on the short-term profit. COD will be gone in 3-4 years.



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

Don't worry guys, this is shipped! The actual sales could still be lower than GTA...though it's still mighty impressive.

But why? Why is it so big?

Man, I DO hope you are right about this!

Seriously, I'm actually more than a little annoyed here. I really do not want something like this game beating out GTAV which is actually deserving of the sales and review scores. 

I was NEVER really a huge GTA fan before but played the games a bit; not until GTAV at least. Seriously I was hyped for The Last of Us and not counting the days for gtaV and yet that game for me is equal to TLOU this year. My two game of the years for damn sure!

Now GTA comes around like once every 5 oro so years and does not deserve to be dethroned just after 2 measly months. GTAV is one of those rare games where everything is completely polished and well done and the success is justified. Now with CoD...pleaseeee. Im wasting my breath just saying talking about it.

Too bad GTAV didnt arrive on next-gen as well...now THAT would be a whole different story. CoD Ghosts is even on the Wii systems. I can't wait forcthe actual numbers to arrive so I can rest easy. Seriously, Im so bothered by this how codks recent numbers have declined and suddenly this new one just miraculously jumps back to the top???? Just no....just no!

Well the reviews were only ever going to slow its legs down until the launch of the next game which could get better reviews. Also 99% of the CoD audience probably doesn't care about reviews.

COD is dead, Mobile gaming is killing consoles, yeah reliable "media".

But the franchise has already been going for more than 10 years 

Yes but it didn't explode until 2007 with Modern Warfare. Kind of like how GTA didn't get huge until the third one.
