Ever notice how you never see a picture of Bobby Kotick in which he doesn't have an ear-to-ear grin? Well, there's a good reason for that. Not only does he have World of Warcraft and Guitar Hero raking in cash for him year after year, but it turns out that Activision Blizzard has another series that isn't doing too shabby. In a press release today, the company announced that the Call of Duty franchise has surpassed $3 billion in overall sales, selling over 55 million units.
"Call of Duty has become one of the greatest entertainment franchises of all time," Kotick said. "If you consider the number of hours our audiences are engaged in playing Call of Duty games, it is likely to be one of the most viewed of all entertainment experiences in modern history."
Considering that it pulled in $550 million in five days, it's safe to assume that number will be going nowhere but up anytime soon.
WOW
FIRST!!!!
but really, this is very impressive.
yah black friday is going to sell double that lol
And if he still wants to charge more for peripherals and stuff, then he is a very greedy man.
The face to face grin always makes him look like a tool. It's a good warning sign.
I realy don't like this guy.
Scary grin.
Yes. Those look like $$$ signs glowing in his pupils!
Why even charge for ad-ons to this game? $3 billion!? ridiculous.
im dissapointesd in my recent complete loss of interest in mw2
He looks scary.
HOLY.....I'm at a loss for words here lol
Ouch... Looks like the evil empire is alive and well
Could care less.
He may just have the most punchable face of all time. He could charge people $5 a pop to punch him in the face and I guarantee he'd make more than $3 billion.
Thats alot of moneyyyyy!
demon...
I sorry Mr. Kotick, but your a person I would like to see fired. You can grin all you want about things you didn't design, but I'm not going to listen to your bull otherwise.
lets see how many they sell before christmas
