BlackOps sold over 23 million units and over 18 million DLC in first nine months

4.4
There are quite a few folks with either an Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 copy of Call of Duty: Black Ops. Just over 23 million, in fact, as of numbers tallied following the first nine months of sales by its publisher. Activision revealed as much during an analyst call this afternoon, showing continued sales growth for the Call of Duty franchise versus install base numbers for the two HD consoles combined.

If that weren't enough, it looks like a huge chunk of those who purchased BlOps were interested in adding to their multiplayer map variety. Activision's numbers show the latest CoD entry as having moved over 18 million map packs since launch (which, priced at $15 a pop, works out to 270 million dollars in gross earnings), 7 million more than MW2 and 9 million more than WaW.

Though the company isn't projecting any map sales yet for the next installment in the CoD franchise, Activision Publishing CEO Eric Hirshberg said on the call, "There's plenty of runway this year, with 20 percent-plus expected growth in the HD console install base alone," referring to the company's expected sales of Modern Warfare 3 this holiday and beyond.

Jacob8hockey its so sad how much money some people wasted on Black ops.

Game - $60
Map Pack 1 - $20
Map Pack 2 - $20
Map Pack 3 - $20
Map Pack 4 - $20 (Unless you bought hardend+ and its still 20 dollars more)

Thats a total of $140 if you but all of them(Before taxes). That ridiculous to play a game. Its a waste of money. Then add in CoD Elite which just about everyone who buys all the map packs will buy. Its a waste of money people! Your feeding them!!!! Maybe if people stop giving them money they will put quality into them so people will pay. This is pathetic.

And to -CoD-, your a idiot. End of story.


$20 per pack? It's $15..... :facepalm:
P.S. - your grammar is that of a child in Kindergarten.


Its the internet? Do u think I give a **** about my grammar? :facepalm:


And sorry that I don't waste my money on these **** packs. You still wasted $120. And I haven't seen MSP for 15$ anyways. They only sell them for 20$. If CoD wasn't all about the money then they would be sell their map packs for 800MSP like all of the Halo games did. That is a realistic price.

BTW, Im pree sure a Kindergarten can't write or type. So stfu and get a life **** and waste your money playing Cod


Umm its Called a Credit card Dumb **** or you can actually go to gamestop and ask them that you was a certain map pack for a certain game and they will sell you a code to download the MP for 15$

Cod is the best no other franchise can compare Nuff said.

Guess what? Not everyone has a credit card on there Xbox. And not everyone goes to gamestop.

How is Cod the best? Explain that? You just said they are but you gave nothing to compare with.

Ill talk about Halo.
-Has a great story line,
-Started present FPS
-Vehicles
-Custom Games (Infection)
-Community games (Griffball, MLG)
-Theatre mode
-Forge
-800MSP map packs
-Decent Multiplayer (Reach)
-Amazing Multiplayer (Halo 1-3)
-Developers listener to gamers


Lol you guys just lol, :D if you want to know whats the best game is the one that sold more, and even more that it didnt sold when it came out, but after renting it, or red boxing it, people like it more, and now its numbers are big... Yes I,m talking of Black Ops, not that I dont like Halo, its a great game, but face it, it will never be good as Call of Duty (As the amount of units sold)

Please forgive me If Ive some spell errors, and just let you know, I didnt used any offensive word :D
