Call of Duty franchise has sold over 188m units

Call of Duty has been recognised as the best-selling first-person shooter series of all time, having sold 188,900,000 units across all formats as of July 2014.

The figure does not include sales of this year's Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare.

The series was also voted as the "Best Videogame Franchise" by readers of Guinness World Records Gamers Edition, which polled over 5,000 readers from across 140 countries.

Call of Duty debuted on PC in 2003 with 21 titles, expansions and spin-offs releasing in the years since. The latest game, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, went on sale across multiple platforms last week.

Advanced Warfare's impressive first week sales led to it becoming the fifth fastest-selling Call of Duty title of all time.

SHM...

Best video gaming franchise.

Seeing as how most of the vgchartz community decided by consensus in the 7th gen that sales = quality, that must mean that Call of Duty is among the very best franchises in the whole world.

OT: Sad, sad news for the industry when this has become the mold in which other developers strive to shape their games. I remember back when Call of Duty was awesome and not just a corporate milking machine.

CoD isn't as bad as people make it out to be, but I do think that the only exceptionally good one was CoD 4. Haven't played the earlier ones though.

I dont see whats so funny about Call of Duty being voted the greatest videogame franchise.

No other game sells so much every single Year.

Sales don't equal quality.
