CoD: Black Ops reaches $1 billion in sales

Anyone who says the Call of Duty franchise is one big cash cow is right on the money (hah!).The latest entry in the series has become the quickest to reach a milestone most game publishers only ever dr🅷eam about - $1 billion in sales revenue.

It's less than a month and a half since Call of Duty: Black Ops was released on November 9th. That day it raked in ꦫmore money than any video game - or any entertainment product at all, for that matter - has ever accumulated in the US on alaunch day. And sales have only continued to climb.

In addition to that, it set♓ the sales record for the most sales revenue in its first five days and also became the most widely played launch game in Xbo♔x Live history. Activision is having a very merry Christmas this year.
