If you guessed that Activision sells alot of map packs, you would be right. Â For their latest Call of Duty offering, Black Ops, the company sold 18 million map packs across the four releases of content. Â Â Releasing last November, Call of Duty: Black Ops offered First Strike, Annihilation, Escalation, and Rezurrection all at $15 a piece, and I personally know plenty of people that have purchased all four with little hesistation. Â The 18 million number suggests that the average cost of Call of Duty among all consumers that purchase the game is $76 which was recently figured by abacus somewhere in Europe.
These numbers have continued to grow as the franchise has kept a polarizing grip on a large majority of the FPS community for the majority of the last year. Â Some analysts believe that Modern Warfare 3 will continue this trend, and surpass Black Ops’ record sales numbers. Â With the consumers becoming more and more comfortable making their purchases online, it’s a probability that these numbers only increase over time.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is set for a big reveal this weekend at the Call of Duty: XP Fan Event in Los Angeles.
