Modern Warfare 2 hits $1 billion mark
It’s now the biggest thing ever, with the money even outpacing the likes of Avatar.
Modern Warfare 2 has “crossed the $1 billion mark in retail sales worldwide”, says Activision.
As the FPS sees its dominant form continue, Activision also reveals that the game sold $550 million worldwide on its first five days on sale. Apparently, this has outpaced the likes of Avatar, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and ‘The Dark Knight’.
“Call of Duty:Modern Warfare 2 has exceeded our expectations and shattered theatrical box office and video game records,” said Robert Kotick, CEO of Activision Blizzard. “There are only a handful of entertainment properties that have ever reached the $1 billion mark, which illustrates the power of the Call of Duty franchise and mass appeal of this game.”
