Call of Duty sales pass 35m

MCV Staff 1st June 2009 Business News

The boss of Activision Publishing boss Mike Griffith has stated that total sales of the Call of Duty titles have now hit an eye-watering 35m units worldwide.

Gamespot adds that 11m of those sales have come from the latest release, World at War.

In addition, the exec also stated that Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare has managed to keep on selling at full price for six successive sales quarters – which is probably why none of you can ever find it cheap second hand.

Elsewhere in the Activision world, Blizzard’s Mike Morhaime has confirmed that his studio hopes to get upcoming PC RTS StarCraft II onto the market by the end of the year – though he adds that the game will not be released until the team is perfectly happy with it.

[Industry news] Core Keeper’s ancient Core becomes a one of a kind gaming PC, to be won for charity

More than 4 million people have played Core Keeper, and every one of them started the same way, waking in a dark cavern beside an ancient Core that has lain dormant for aeons. Pugstorm and Fireshine Games, the game's developer and publisher, have now worked with Scan to build that Core into a real gaming PC. It is one of a kind, and it is the prize in the Global Games Draw, a new prize draw for Into Games, a UK charity that helps young people from working class backgrounds into careers in games. Every entry raises money for that work.
