Black Ops 2 'on track for record sales' - analyst

4.5
Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 is on track to achieve record sales, according to Cowen & Company analyst Doug Creutz.

He said in a research note: "Post-holiday sales trends for BO2 have been significantly better than those for last year's Modern Warfare 3, and we expect BO2 to slightly beat the previous franchise high watermark of the original Black Ops on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 platforms across its life cycle."
Activision claimed in December that Black Ops 2 grossed $1 billion worldwide in its first 15 days of availability, a milestone reached 24 hours faster than 2011's Modern Warfare 3.

The shooter went on to be the best-selling game of last year in both the UK and the US

Activision social media manager Dan Amrich said last week that he expects 2013's entry in the Call of Duty series, which is rumoured to Modern Warfare 4, to be revealed no later than E3 in early June.

I'm not surprised. The Call of Duty community is growing faster than we think.

And FIFA believe they can out sell them.

People who like it are those that have never played a good game.
People that hate are those that have played better games.

JustinsModsPosted:

black ops 2 was horrible. all people are doing is buying it to make sure it does suck lol

I thought it was terrible and I regret buying it. I will never buy a Treyarch made game again. I was once a fan but no more.
As long as Call of Duty's keep getting dished out, they will always make money.

Well to be completely honest, I am very happy with this Call of Duty. Not much to be mad about in all honestly.

My opinon is that treyarch makes an amazing campaign that is greatand you get that felling of succsess when you beat it and they also have zombies wich is amazing also because of the creativity they have for it... But when it comes to multiplayer I think it is terrible I mean it was fun in black ops 1 and outstanding in WaW but in black ops 2 I hated it... I am happy for treyarch for reaching this goal but hopefully with there next game they can improve even more.
