Call of Duty: Ghosts Sells Over US$1 Billion On Day One

Activision has announced that it managed to sell more than $1 billion (yes, do your Dr. Evil impression) worth of Call of Duty: Ghosts into retail stores worldwide as of day one. The latest title in the long-running series has also managed to take over the first place on Xbox Live as well as set a new mark for average player session length.

"Call of Duty is by far the largest console franchise of this generation," said Bobby Kotick, CEO of Activision Blizzard. "More people have played Call of Duty this year than ever before, logging four billion hours of gameplay. And in the last 12 months, Call of Duty: Black Ops II, including its digital content, generated more revenues than any other console game ever has in a single year."

In case you missed it, Call of Duty: Ghosts launched on November 5th, on PC and consoles, and will also launch on next-gen consoles later this month.
