Activision ha annunciato in pompa magna che i guadagni portati dalla vendita di Modern Warfare 2, famosissimo FPS sviluppato da Infinity Ward, hanno raggiunto numeri da record. Sin dallo scorso novembre, mese in cui è stato lanciato il gioco, il colosso videoludico americano ha infatti guadagnato più di un miliardo di dollari.
Senza alcun dubbio cifre da capogiro.

SANTA MONICA, Calif., Jan. 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ ? Activision Blizzard, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI) announced today that Infinity Ward?s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 continues to set sell-through records crossing the $1 billion mark in retail sales worldwide since its launch in November, according to internal Activision estimates.

?Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has exceeded our expectations and shattered theatrical box office and video game records,? said Robert Kotick, CEO of Activision Blizzard. ?There are only a handful of entertainment properties that have ever reached the $1 billion mark, which illustrates the power of the Call of Duty franchise and mass appeal of this game.?
