@diciestryan https://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2013/11/06/activision-boasts-1-billion-in-call-of-duty-ghosts-to-retail-sales.aspx Yeap... Boasting... Pure boasting...

@diciestryan At $60 a copy they need sell 16.7 million copies to reach the billion on gross income. There's roughly 7 billion humans in the world, and CoD has a solid fanbase. Taking into account all game stores that make great campaigns to sell games of the franchise, and add to that the possibility of online copies, which are becoming more popular each year, and the prospect of 16.7 million copies sold on launch day is actually reasonable. Then again they can also not reach the mark, that depends on marketing and luck.

@nerthos I have no problem with what you said, however I do have a problem with them boasting about it like that, since, well, it is "free publicity" by shouting obscenery

@critialcloudkicker The market of those games is based on maneuvers like that, since the demographic they aim at is basically jocks and Potato Knishs who like to scream "I'm better than you" at eachother.

@nerthos And, hooray for them, it works... Sadly... Same reason why WoW is now a game my grandmother can play, and successfully tank heroics, untill she forgets where the "hammer of judgement" spell is.

@diciestryan I haven't played a single CoD game. CoD 1 had a short campaign back in the day so I instead went for Medal of Honor, and then I transitioned to the RPG genre and didn't pay much attention to multiplayer-aimed FPSs

@snowcone Lets say you own a chain of chops, Then technically you have bought a big number of copies to sell to your customers... Soo... Effectively you are shouting "we are successfull" and throwing up a number that means next to nothing.

@diciestryan @critialcloudkicker "Activision has announced $1 billion in Call of Duty: Ghosts sell-in. These are shipments sent to retail, and may not reflect units sold to consumers." with that statement, it becomes highly possible, since many game shops buy big quantities of copies to have a stock.

@nerthos Exactly, and like sirtet. It means Jack Potato-knish to me, and I will probably not buy it.

@dyshviccer @snowcone They actually exist. Look at the whole hipster movement, which is based on the same thought patterns but with a little spin.
