It makes me happy to see that nintendo exclusive franchises contributed heavily to the top 10 highest grossing videogames.

Now do you understand why we call it WOW!!

$1.5 billion yearly is the main reason every dam publisher has ran out and tried to make a WoW clone which has left us with 50 million MMO's out there.

Also I wonder how much money Starcraft 2 is making cause S. Koreans pay by the hour to play it and SC2 in Korea is like CRACK!

My only complaint is Why No Team Fortress 2...........I'm sure they sell like $2 Billion dollars a year in Hats! j/k

sticky doja4230d ago

They didn't list MW3. It sold over a billion the first week it was out.

Clayman4230d ago

I guess they didn't count Wii Sports.

GameTavern4229d ago

There's really no way to count it, since like 80% of its sales includes a system.

Tommy3344230d ago

The worst GTA is the highest figures.

LX-General-Kaos4230d ago

Yea its pretty amazing how that worked out. I dont understand what happened but im glad that it did. Rockstar will have no problem keeping the GTA games coming well off into the future.

YodaCracker4229d ago

Are you talking about the highest rated game of the last decade?

BattleTorn4229d ago

The *newest GTA has the highest figures.

Anon19744229d ago (Edited 4229d ago )

I couldn't disagree more. I've been playing GTA games for the past 15 years and I can say, without a doubt that GTA4 was the best of the series in my opinion. First time I've ever even finished a GTA game. The characters were the best of the series, voice acting second to none, the story line was fantastic, the portrayal of immigrant community life and the contrast against the traditional american dream. Add to those strengths outstanding gameplay, a huge city to explore, varied missions...it's hands down one of the best games I've ever played since I started playing videogames 30 years ago. And I didn't even play the multiplayer, which I understand was excellent as well.

I'll never understand the hate this game garnered in some circles. It was an absolute masterpiece as a videogame and raised the bar for story telling in gaming while it notched another win for games to be taken serious as the art form they truly are.

By contrast, Black ops was a steaming pile. I hated everything about that sloppy, corridor shooter with it's one dimensional characters and hackneyed "plot". It had a serviceable multiplayer, but I'll never understand it's popularity. One of the worst entries in the COD franchise in my opinion.

And on that note, I think I'll go take a break from Skyrim and finish playing through MW3's campaign.

i don't even have to read it to know theres gonna' be CoD involved.. *sigh*.. what is gaming coming too..

LX-General-Kaos4229d ago

COD is involved.. But instead of downing COD you should pay tribute to the non COD games that did make the list.

BattleTorn4229d ago (Edited 4229d ago )

" [WoW] has had a base of around 11 million paying subscribers for more than half a decade. This alone brings in over $1.5 billion per year."

$1,500,000,000 / 11,000,000 = $136.36 / 12month = $11/month

Holy Shit!! That math actually works out.

MW3 shouldn’t leave Modern Warfare 2’s overlooked playlist behind

Modern Warfare 3 is set to be one of the biggest COD games yet features-wise, but it shouldn't leave out one of the best MW2 game modes in the rear view mirror.

Modern Warfare 2 Adds Pay-to-Win Items With Thermal Scope and Merlin the Dog, Here's How They Work

Some alleged Modern Warfare 2 pay-to-win elements were recently added, see what they are here and how they work.

PunksOnN4G42d ago

The DOG is legit Broken if ur hiding in a room or grass he turns his head even if ur behind a closed door he turns his head and barks letting them know where u at thats PAY TO WIN!!!!!

LucasRuinedChildhood42d ago

I hope all the assholes who buy these get stuck in lobbies with each other. I skipped new COD games for a long time and a short time with MW2 convinced me to go back to on a hiatus.

With the skill-based matchmaking (engagement-based would be more accurate), I imagine this will make the game even more miserable for most players when the matchmaking has decided it's time for a tough lobby.

I played the OG MW2 recently on the Series X and it's disheartening how much more fun it is. I don't even care about the balance issues anymore. lol

PunksOnN4G42d ago

My friends dont play with me anymore i am former pro player and i even streamed on MLG for RX gaming the team i played for... My KD is always high 5-6kd my friends who i went to school with are not good wht so ever so with SBMM kicking in its always putting us in TOP TIER lobbys and they cant hang now they dont even tell me when they getting on LOL

ManMarmalade42d ago

I recently started playing OG MW2 again and I'm having a blast. Feels like I'm in high school again.

fr0sty42d ago (Edited 42d ago )

Welcome to COD under MS. It's all downhill from here, they're going to be looking to make that $68B back as fast as possible, at any expense to the player.

StarkR3ality42d ago

The deal hasn't even closed yet you pleb. CoD has been doing stuff like this since the loot boxes in WWII.

Nice try though pal.

TheColbertinator41d ago

Activision has never needed Microsoft or anybody for that matter to act like greedy bastards

PunksOnN4G41d ago

why did my 2nd comment about SBMM get downvited LOL?? Do we have people who Enjoy trash SBMM tbh make sense it caters to LOW KD players and u will never get better playing with the same trahs everyday LOL

andy8542d ago

Probably gonna see more of this BS once the deal is fully done..Gotta recoup that 70B.

Jin_Sakai42d ago (Edited 42d ago )

Look at Minecraft. The game hasn’t went anywhere since Microsoft bought them. No 4K, no 120fps, no graphics pack, and no Ray Tracing. Just some new biomes, mobs, and more skins as usual.

Same could be said about Rare. Who knows what will happen to Activision once they’re under Microsoft’s roof. We can all take a good guess though.

PunksOnN4G42d ago

TBH they did update it by accident then they pulled the update down on xsx and xss i remeber the XSX version having ray tracing but the S did not. Then after people seen that it was updated it was removed that same day

peppeaccardo42d ago

No way !!! Nobody wouild think they would monetize on items that weak asses will use to get advantage during multiplayer action !!! I would never think they would do that ... I mean is a free to play game after all ! /S
Wait once M$ will put their greasy hands all over Activizion and you will see what awaits the "lucky" ones who will play this slot machine of a game. Sooooo Lame !
