If there was any thought that the occasionally-infamous Call of Duty franchise may slow down this year, then take a look at some of these numbers. About 3/4 of a billion dollars accrued in only 5 days. It is now topping $6 billion across the entire franchise’s history (though I would bet the lion’s share of it is from Modern Warfare 2 and beyond). Plus some extremely arbirary numbers: More than 7 million multiplayer hours were logged by the end of launch day and 3.3 million concurrent users were logged in on Nov. 8.
As for me, I decided to hold out. With reviews pretty much being stellar across the board, I’ve decided its worth checking out and I’ll probably grab it this weekend.
