There are only very few entertainment franchises which have managed to cross a billion dollar mark all over the world. However, according to its publisher, Activision Blizzard Incc, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has been successful in crossing the coveted $1 billion mark (£625 million) in global revenues and is Activision Blizzard 's third "billion dollar-plus" franchise after Guitar Hero and wow gold.Bobby Kotick, Activision CEO, says, "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has exceeded our expectations and shattered theatrical box office and video game records." According to figures from NPD Group, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 was released at the beginning of November and had managed to earn a whopping $310 million in the first 24 hours of sales and had set a series of records for the wow gold game and entertainment industry in the UK and also globally. And, in its opening month, the game sold 6 million copies in the U.S. alone. By crossing the $1 billion mark Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has equalled itself with previous achievers such as wow gold online and Guitar Hero III, also owned by publisher Activision. Bobby Kotick says, "There are only a handful of entertainment properties that have ever reached the $1 billion mark, which illustrates the power of the Call of Duty franchise and mass appeal of this game."Now it is the ninth straight week running for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 at the top of the UK all-format video game charts. The latest first-person shooter (FPS) title has also been able to surpass the 14.4 million units mark set by Call of Duty: Modern Warfare sold in 2007, the previous bestselling title in the highly popular six-year-old Call of Duty military shooter series.
