Call of Duty: Black Ops Smashes Sales Records

Activision has announced that Call of Duty: Black Ops has grossed $650 million within its first five days on sale worldwide. This beats last years Modern Warfare 2 by over $100 million. Call of Duty has become the first entertainment property in history to set five-day launch records for two consecutive years across all forms of entertainment.

Over 2.6 million unique gamers logged 5.9 million multiplayer hours on Xbox LIVE on 9th of November. The game was also a tremendous success on the PlayStation 3.

Black Ops has also set new sales records in the United Kingdom; Two million copies of the game were sold in five days, beating the previous record holder, Modern Warfare 2, by over 10 percent. The Xbox 360 was the best selling version of Call of Duty: Black Ops in the game's opening week. Out of the 2 million sold copies in the UK, 55 percent were Xbox 360 versions and 42 percent PlayStation 3. The PC, DS and Wii versions took the remaining 3 percent.

My Opinion: The new CoD game is good, honestly in my opinion it could've been better.The graphics should've been done by Infinity Ward rather than Treyarch, Treyarch Sucks! The campaign was pretty orgasmic, also the multiplayer is better set up than MW2. The way they made the guns and how you get gun attachments and camo etc, was a good choice. It makes the player a lot more independent on what they want on their guns.
                   The sales were better for BLOPS than MW2 by millions. The CoD franchise is probably the most successful 1st person shooter franchise of all time, in my opinion. Although there were some minor problems with it and it was slightly disappointing, it is still a fun game. Of course the next CoD will beat BLOPS and it will just be an on going process of games out selling the last one. CoD 4evr!
