Activision Blizzard passed along a note this morning announcing that Call of Duty: Black Ops recently topped $1 billion in worldwide sales.
The Treyarch-developed FPS debuted back in early November to very strong initial sales, moving more than 5 million units in its first day of availability alone. Judging by these latest figures, things haven't slowed down too much for Black Ops since then.
"In all of entertainment, only Call of Duty and Avatar have ever achieved the billion dollar revenue milestone this quickly," reads a statement from Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick. "This is a tribute to the global appeal of the Call of Duty franchise, the exceptional talent at Treyarch and the hundreds of extraordinary people across our many Call of Duty studios including Infinity Ward and Sledgehammer that work tirelessly on the franchise."

Are you serious? You do realize our GDP is close to 14 Trillion right?


Halo 3 sold 8 Million Copies
Mario Kart Wii sold around 24 Million
Hell Nintendo alone usually sells at least 20 Million+ copies of a game in their core franchises. $1 Billion in sales in the videogame industry is an accomplishment, but hardly something new.

Because we already spent a quarter of a billion in stimilus funds to companies that were about to go under so we wouldnt lose more jobs. But you right. Activision does have a better financial budget than the us. We should abolish the current system of government and let activision run the nation. What could possibly go wrong?
