  • Black Ops 2 Crosses 1 Billion Dollar Mark

    So I Am Assuming You Are Still Entertained?

    [amazon_link id=”B007XVTR5S” target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]Call of Duty: Black Ops 2[/amazon_link] continues on its record breaking pace and proves that it is not near any kind of decline.

    The newest game in the Call of Duty series has grossed 1 billion dollars in its first 15 days of release, one day faster than last year’s Modern Warfare 3. Every year people begin to wonder if this is the year that Call of Duty hits a saturation point and every year sales indicate that the military shooter is still the biggest gaming event of the year. Now we know this can’t last forever but who can blame Activision for riding this train for as long as they can.

    Activision Blizzard’s Bobby Kotick had this to say about sales of the newest Call of Duty.

    “The release of Call of Duty has been one of the most significant entertainment events of each of the last six years. Since Call of Duty was launched, cumulative franchise revenues from players around the world are greater than current worldwide box office receipts to date for the top-10 grossing films of 2012 combined. Life-to-date sales for the Call of Duty franchise have exceeded worldwide theatrical box office receipts for Harry Potter and Star Wars, the two most successful movie franchises of all time.”

  • Sony Reports Good Playstation 3 And Vita Sales To Start The Holiday

    Sony has announced today that over 525,000 Playstation 3 consoles and 160,000 Vita’s were sold over the week of Black Friday. The Playstation 3 bundles saw a 15% increase over the same time last year and the Vita sales has the handheld off to a good start in it’s first holiday season.

    Sony definitely upped its game this season with a number of different bundles available for both systems including a Playstation 3 w/ Infamous 1&2 and Uncharted 1&2. The Vita had numerous bundles including games like Call of Duty: Black Ops, Assassin’s Creed 3: Liberation and Lego Batman 2.

  • Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 Sets Record

    If there was any doubt that Call of Duty is the undisputed biggest game in the world right now, then I have a few numbers for you.

    Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 grossed over $500 million within its first 24 hours of being released. That is over double what Halo 4 made in its first day (Black Ops is multi-platform though) and is over $100 million more than Modern Warfare 3 made last year. The game is now the biggest entertainment release of the year.

    Not only that but Gamestop has reported that over 1 million copies of the game were sold at midnight launches around the country Monday night which would make it the biggest launch in the company’s history.

    Have you picked up your copy yet? Or are you on COD withdrawal?

  • Halo 4 Sales Set New Record

    Master Chief Still Has The Appeal.

    Microsoft has reported that the November 6th launch of Halo 4 was the largest in the franchise’s history. The return of Master Chief grossed $220 million dollars on launch day alone which math should tell us is over 3.5 million copies sold. Microsoft expects first week sales to be over $300 million.

    Halo 4 is the first game in the Halo series not be made by series creators Bungie. 343 Industries took over development and crafted Halo 4 as the first game in a new trilogy.

    With Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 releasing today it will be interesting to see how big the first day numbers are for the game especially since it is multi-platform.

  • Call Of Duty: Black Ops 2 Care Package Doesn’t Care About Your Wallet

    Not to be outdone by Borderlands 2’s Loot Chest, Activision has announced the Care Package for Call of Duty: Black Ops 2. The chest comes equipped with all the bells and whistles that will let everyone know in the parking lot of Gamestop that you love Call of Duty more than anyone. A steelbook edition of the game, excluisive DLC maps, 360 avatars, PS3 themes are what to expect with any type of collector’s edition of a game but the real draw of this has to be the remote-controlled MQ-27 Dragonfire Drone because….well it flies. Yeah.

    The Care Package will set you back $180 so get to saving.
