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.

equatiionzzz This doesn't surprise me considering it has the best zombies maps in the series.

Truth!!! I still believe that Black Ops 1 will always have the best Zombies. Everything else became too extra after that!

I hope the publishers for the other cods realize the profitable benefit of adding their games to backwards compatibility

Why does the article say that Black Ops was the first in the Call of Duty series to have Zombies mode?

If it's meant to be the Black Ops series, maybe re-wording it would help. Would say the Black Ops Trilogy, not just 'series'.

Yep, would much rather getting that game though instead of this one.

This is because this is a good game. I and others, I assume, are sick and tired of the new ones that have come out lately. Wonder what the player count is on AW and BO3.
