Over the holiday weekend, the publisher announced that the Call of Duty franchise has pulled in more than $3 billion at retail worldwide, according to industry-tracking groups NPD, Chart-Track, and GfK, as well as Activision's own internal estimates. Generating some $550 million within its first five days on the market, the Infinity Ward-developed first-person shooter sailed past top earners within the film and book industry, giving Activision cause to lay claim to the title of "biggest entertainment launch in history." Modern Warfare 2's sales likely got a boost on Black Friday.Īctivision has now provided some perspective on just how big Call of Duty has become. And a host of backward compatible Xbox 360 games from the CoD franchise are on sale, including: Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare ($14.99), Modern Warfare 2 ($14.99), Modern Warfare 3 ($19.49), Black Ops ($14.99), Black Ops 2 ($16.49), World at War ($9.99), Call of Duty 2 ($14.99), and Call of Duty 3 ($14.99).Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 smashed more than just game-industry records upon its launch for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC in November. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered is a mere $19.99. You'll find WW2, Advanced Warfare, Black Ops 3, Ghosts, and Infinite Warfare all selling for $23.99 apiece. Now, here's what you can get your hands on. That actually just makes us want to either laugh or shake our heads, but there are other CoD games here worth checking out, so whatever. And the newest game in the series, Black Ops 4, has been omitted from this sale entirely. Even older games like Ghosts are still insanely expensive, years after release (and despite the fact that few people even liked Ghosts). Like, the act of offering a lower price on a CoD title might genuinely be painful for the publisher. But before we go much further, it's worth appreciating this sale for one reason and one reason only: Activision hates discounting Call of Dutygames.
