Halo 4 is at 3.8 million total copies, the PS3 version of Blops 2 outsold it because Halo is for 12 year olds - or at least people who are mentally 12 years old.
Blops also has 12 year olds but it doesn't make up as big a proportion as Halo. You can read the stats.
Plus, there's some serious competition with other big market games like Assassins Creed 3 which sold a hefty 3.5 million copies, twice what Revelations sold.
Mind you all, Modern Warfare sold a lot in its first month and sales dwindled more rapidly than Black Ops, they just made more of the sales early on, however it's still totally possible that Black Ops 2 will not dwindle as quickly and sales will decline more gradually than right away, meaning more people can possibly make BO2 even bigger than MW3, it just depends on what the next 2 months look like, because it isn't until February and March that we get Crysis 3, Dead Space 3, and Bioshock Infinite, where some serious competition will arrive.
Black Ops II (X360) FW sales: 6.21m Halo 4 (X360) FW sales: 3.80m
If you mean that in another way (like your prediction was correct), then your not alone in your prediction. There's no sane person who would've thought Halo 4 would sell higher than BO2. CoD's in a different league to any other game (sales-wise)... Halo 4 is still massively successful though - 4.55m in its first 2 weeks worldwide.
One of the best of CoD's stories sure but it is far too cliche and nonsensical. I don't see why the tank thing with legs exists. The design choices are so stupid and for a war game you would think they would know more about strategic designs. I wouldn't say it is one of the best of recent times. Dozens of indie games that recently came out are better written and more creative and they cost little and had far less funding.
It's not the number of bubbles you have, it's how you use them. haha :p
On topic. This is an insane number of sales, even for CoD. I didn't pick it up myself. I'm gonna just keep playing Black Ops 1 and Battlefield BC2 (PS3). I did pick up LBP Karting last night though for 25 bucks. Score!! haha
WoW look at those PC Numbers.....401K (I'm sure those numbers are a lot higher when you add in Digital Sales)
But still that's a lot of PC Gamers that are like "this is not better than Planetside 2...why did I buy this"? LMAO....J/k COD has a nice PC community of Gamers!
Lower numbers than MW3.....is Call of Duty losing it's MOJO? Lets see what the numbers look like after Christmas!
I played the planetside 2 beta. It wasn't bad and does some great things, but it's not for me. Hated travelling miles in a ship piloted by a fool. And when it's in the air you kinda have to stay in it.
lol "is Call of Duty losing it's MOJO?"
It still sold 11 million. It may be suffering from "wait til christmas" syndrome or maybe lack of interest, but 11million is still frightening numbers.
Looks like Black Ops II is set to join the elite list of best selling PS3 games. The top 3 now being Modern Warfare 2, Modern Warfare 3, and Black Ops, and the 4th soon to be BLOPS2.
You fellow PS3 owners never cease to amaze me with the support you give developers/publishers who give you broken games.
NeverEnding1989, what I love is how all they talk about is exclusives this and exclusives that, but yet when it comes to actually buying them... ummm..
Shouldn't really be a surprise though. You can't really expect CoD to keep breaking week one records forever. It's going to peak at some point. Doesn't mean that people are losing interest in it though.
People just don't take in count that between the systems well 4 of u club the wii u there is the digital sale and that well over another M ... So black ops 2 ain't that much behind
Black ops 2 fun. Be advised...its on multiple platforms, while halo 4 is only on 360. So of course black ops 2 (any cod) will sell more. 11 million copies is incredible though. Pretty much any game that reaches 1.5 sales is really good..3-5mil is outstanding...5-9mil is incedible...over that is classic.
Looks like CoD is finally starting to show some franchise fatigue, 2.14m less than MW3 is quite a significant drop. Still a beast though!
BO: Declassified sales are pretty dismal. It's probably a good thing that it's sold so poorly though; judging from the reviews, everyone who buys it will be disappointed :P
And to think Bkack ops 2 had a massive preorder incentive campaign, the first cod to do so. I knew something was up when they started doing that. Activision must've foreseen less anticipation for BO2.
Not really considering there are only what? 2 million Vitas sold? 119K, especially in the first week, is pretty good. Assassins Creed: Liberation sold 100K and Ubisoft said they were very happy with it.
118,615 units isn't bad at all for a handheld game especially one that has lambasted by critics. Think how much that number will go up after sales of the bundle on black friday same with Liberation which sold 113,997 units and has sold 220,000 total so far
Was shopping the other day and swung by the the game section.
BLOPS2: £42.99 MW3: £44.99
Wait, what?
CoD is probably the biggest selling game this generation. Each game has hit numbers some developers could only dream of reaching. So why are they so expensive? How about showing some appreciation to your user base and lower the price some?
But they could sell MW4 for a solid £50 and then ask for another £40 in DLC and people would still pay it. I guess people really do hate change.
I don't really wanna buy it, I was just shocked at how CoD games can stay at these prices. Even online it's ridiculous.
In the same place I saw:
Mass Effect 3 - £20 Sleeping Dogs - £20 Max Payne 3 - £20 And you could get these cheaper online. All came out this year. So why does CoD get a free pass on this and MW3 is £45?
A very large percentage of people on this site don’t like it, but this vocal minority represents a small percentage of people who bought the game and are a fan of the series. Everyone I know that has the game thinks it’s the best one in recent years.
I expected Black Ops 2[360] to outsell Halo 4.
