During their recent quarterly financial meeting, Activision announced that the
Call of Duty first-person-shooter series has sold over 300 million copies thus far. This is seemingly taking into account every single major instalment in the franchise's history (like
Call of Duty: Black Ops 4) as well as minor spinoffs (like
Call of Duty: Online).
The long-running franchise crossing this milestone therefore makes it one of the bestselling video-game franchises of all time. Specifically, the
Call of Duty series is now the fourth bestselling game franchise, following
Pokemon,
Super Mario, and
Mario. This therefore means that it's the only non-Nintendo property to accomplish the feat of 300 million lifetime sales.
Behind
Call of Duty, as the fifth and sixth bestselling video-game franchises of all time, are
Grand Theft Auto franchise and
FIFA series.
Even after the immense success of the latest instalment,
Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, the bestselling game in the series remains as
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. With a sequel to that game
rumoured to be the next instalment in the series, perhaps we'll see the franchise break its own record within the coming months.
