Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 made over $500 million launch weekend

4.5
Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 dropped last Friday and over the course of the weekend made serious bank as usual.


Activision said over the three-day weekend, the game raked in over $500 million worldwide and players spent over 75 million hours combined online in the game over the course of the weekend.

That figure is sell-through to customers, by the way. Not sell-in to retail.

Digital sales of the shooter were nearly double that of Advanced Warfare which released in November 2014. Retail sales of the franchise are also up “significantly” over the last two years.

The PS4 version is currently the “best-selling digital full game by units sold in its first day of availability,” said the company. It was also the most streamed and viewed title “of any game launch in 2015,” as reported by Twitch.

Black Ops 3 also debuted at number one on Media Create’s chart, with the PS4 version selling 143,817 units in Japan. The Xbox One version debuted in third place with 20,899 units sold. Combined, the shooter moved 164,716 copies in the region.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 is available on PC, PlayStation 3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One.

Extatic They deserve it . It's such a fun game


Yeah it's actually amazing. Better version of Black Ops 2 in my opinion except I'm not a huge fan of the jumping in multiplayer.

It was pretty obvious that this was going to happen because of the fact of how many people were actually talking about purchasing the game!

Well this was bound to happen. It's Treyarch, they're loved.

It's easy to see why, Black Ops 2 was one of--if not the best COD to date, and with the anticipation of BO3 and zombies and whatnot it's easy to see that a lot of people probably pre-ordered or rushed to the store to buy the game.

Lend The game wasn't that fun. It's pretty much like the rest with just a little different of a touch. I didn't care for it the 3 days before launch I had it and I still don't 3+ days after the launch.


Maybe you should try playing it before saying it sucks. They've added a whole ton of content that has made it by far one of the best CoDs in a while. The campaign is amazing if you take time to figure it out. The zombies campaign is fun change of pace. The zombies game mode is same old same old (fun). Multiplayer is the biggest change with the wall running but still feels pretty good. Stop hating on franchise just because of their reputation.


the campaign is just like every other campaign(not worth your time) the zombies this time around is pretty stupid


The zombies is actually pretty fun, your just saying that cause its hard.
