Black Ops sales jump 13,000% following Xbox One backward compatibility

4.4
Sales of the original Call of Duty: Black Ops have soared by 13,400% on Amazon following the game's addition to Xbox One backward compatibility yesterday. Sales of the budget Classics version, meanwhile, had increased by 6,877% at the time of writing.

The jump puts the Xbox 360 version of Black Ops at No.2 on Amazon's hourly PC & Video Games sales chart, sitting behind Uncharted 4: A Thief's End and ahead of DOOM. It had previously ranked at No.270 in the sales chart.

Black Ops was first announced for Xbox One's backward compatibility service last year, following its release on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC in November 2010. The game was the first in the series to introduce Call of Duty's popular Zombies feature as a separate mode, and is still regularly played by people online.

The latest game in the Black Ops franchise, Black Ops 3, launched last year, with this year's Call of Duty, Infinite Warfare, set to arrive this November.

Seam well they probably went from selling 1 copy in the past year to suddenly selling it to people that didnt have it. (the 13,000)


Just so you know if 1 copy was being sold that would be 100%. So now 13,400%.
134 copies. Not 13,000 :) ily this is just a friendly reminder that sometimes we all make mistakes and someone should be there to pick another person up
