Call of Duty: Black Ops II crushes records as sales hit $1 billion in 15 days

Who says the first-person shooter genre is getting stale? Activision (ATVI) announced on Wednesday another milestone for its recently released Call of Duty: Black Ops II game. Having made over $500 million in its first 24 hours, Black Ops II has now reached $1 billion in worldwide sales since it launched 15 days ago. By comparison, last year’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 took one more day to reach the same amount of worldwide sales. Activision says Black Ops II even managed to beat James Cameron’s 2009 movie Avatar, which grossed $1 billion in 17 days. Equally impressive is that 150 million hours of Black Ops II have been logged on Xbox LIVE and the PlayStation Network.

Activision Blizzard’s (ATVI) latest first-person shooter is a hit.

While Activation didn’t reveal how many copies were sold, the company’s CEO did note that the Call of Duty franchise is now bigger than the two most successful movie franchises — Harry Potter and Star Wars.
