Activision announced today thatCall of Duty 4has nabbed the coveted “most units sold worldwide for calender 2007” title. So, how many units had to be sold to beat out the likes ofHalo 3andWii Play? 7 million, according to The NPD Group, Chart Track, and The GFK Group.
It isn’t hard to see whyCall of Duty 4has sold so well. After all, the game has recieved top honors from many publications and has even become themost popular titleon Xbox Live. Factor that in alongside the series’ popularity and you’ve got yourself an explanation for the widespread success.
It’s hard for me to come up with a list of games that are more deserving thanCall of Duty 4, which is why I’m so mad that Infinity Ward won’t bemaking the game’s successor. It’s not that I hate Treyarch so much as I really just want IW to be at the helm again.
It’s their creation, so why not let them continue to expand it?
