We all know just how popular the Call of Duty series has been. Analysts have said that sales have recently been on the decline, but there’s still no denying it’s an incredibly popular series worldwide. Activision has announced that the Call of Duty franchise has sold over 175 million units which equates to around one copy sold every two seconds. You really can’t argue with that.

    1. Dude, any major gaming news is tied to Nintendo in some sort of way. Call of Duty Ghosts was on the Wii U, and CoD will likely be on Nintendo’s next console as well.

      I personally love seeing gaming news like this. I really wish people here would stop complaining about a few articles here and therethat are. ot directly related to Nintendo. Skip the article and read something else if you don’t approve. No reason to complain about it.

  1. Nintendo Tetrarch Quadramus-NX

    >>>I haven’t read anything more disgusting since the unveiling of the first Xbox>>>

      1. Don’t waste your time arguing with fanboys. They will never understand what makes each console amazing to real gamers.

        1. I’m afraid that Skais is correct. You can’t call Call of Duty a rehash and then say that Mario and Pokemon are not. It’s simply incorrect. All 3 series add different elements, but they still keep in the core gameplay, virtually untouched. Name a difference that Pokemon has attained and I shall name one for Call of Duty. It’s an infinite cycle.

          1. Cants really say Mario/Zelda/Pokemon rehashes every time. “If it ain’t broken, don’t fix it. Build upon it.” Mario did significantly change over the years excluding New Mario Bros. after the DS game and maybe Mario 3D World (which is still a good game)

            You can’t talk shit about Zelda since it’s always a damn good game and delivers upon expectations and same goes for Pokemon…except the 5th gen really didn’t change or add shit at all (it’s why I skipped Black/White games). lol

            1. Dude, people enjoy CoD too. So, saying that Zelda isn’t a rehash because it’s always fun…it extremely subjective. Same for Pokémon. Mario has had many different gameplays thanks to sport spinoffs and other spinoffs, but the main game only has two core gameplays that never change. The classic 2d adventures and the Mario 64 style. I’m not saying that CoD is better than them as I naturally prefer those 3 Nintendo franchises, I’m just saying that you guys give CoD an undeserved bad rep.

      1. Only Pokemon is. Mario has different kind of games from 2D plat formers to 3D, Kart Racing and Party’s so mario games can be once a year. Zelda isn’t recycled at all (except for the past few years) Pokemon has no excuse though

      2. No not really. For Mario the only thing that’s constantly recycled is NSMB series. Zelda isn’t really the same shit over and over again. We both know that. But yeah you win when you said Pokemon.

          1. Nintendo Tetrarch Quadramus-NX

            >>>Over the span of almost 30 years unlike the other abominations that have about the same amount if not more in just 1/3 of that time period, try again Sonyan>>>

            1. Mario doesn’t get any free passes just because he’s been here longer. And I never said other franchises don’t get recycled either.

                  1. Nope. It did. And Nintendo wants you to know that too. Which is why they based her Smash bros model from it.

      3. At least Mario and Zelda games are different same characters but different ways to play and new stories unlike cod same shity game play nothing new but idiots like you keep buying them lol

  2. F**k call of duty. It’s for people who are drunk, and idiots. People go crazy and some people will act like this. Especislly teens and preteens. P.S this is not nintendo news

  3. Mario has sold half a BILLION video game copies worldwide.
    Pokémon has sold over 270 million video game copies worldwide.
    Grand Theft Auto is nearing 200 million.
    …And Call of Duty is next on this list.

    1. Leave it to fan boys to make everything into a competition and start/fight in pointless wars. Fucking idiot XXXDDD

  4. I feel like articles such as this are posted on Nintendo News so people like me can have fun reading the comments.

  5. AND YET ONLY WIIU OFFERS MOUSE POINTER FPS CONTROLS AND GAMEPAD 9 AXIS AIM MOTION

    SADLY EVEN IF IT WAS OPTERMIZED FOR WIIU THE LAG WOULD DESTROY THE EXPERIENCE COD IS A LAGGY CASUAL JOKE

  6. Even though I don’t really care for the games, that’s pretty impressive. Congrats, Activision. And screw all you haters.

  7. imagine drone control and kill streak control in real time on gamepad whilst 9 axis aiming in real time

    or same again with gamepad in cradle and wii remote control COD WOULD BE REVOLUTIONIZED

      1. I have better taste in games than you if you like this piece of crap series. Then again, that’s already been proven.

        1. How many Call of Duty games have you actually played before? I don’t even really care for the games that much because I’m not a fan of FPS. But I don’t insult the people that enjoy them. You’re acting really childish right now.

  8. If I sold 5 games in TOTAL, within 9 seconds I would beat Activision’s record.

    So wtf are you even trying to say?

    Without context of time, that sales statistic means jack shit.

  9. And why should we care call of duty sucks anyway corny futuristic shit cod has turned into halo laser guns jetpacks gayy

  10. Pingback: สุดยอดเกม Call Of Duty ขายได้มากกว่า 175 ล้านชุดแล้ว | แบไต๋ไฮเทค

  11. So for 10 years straight, every two seconds a Call of Duty game is sold, which means in the time of me writting this comment, 19 CoD games have been sold…. damn.

    That’s fast.

  12. You missed 3 other Mario Party games but among 13, 3 of them sucked ass (Advance, MP9 & 10), there’s 10 Mario Kart games (2 you missed are from arcades), 18 Zelda games…I think that’s too much of it to be true and there’s actually 10 Metroid games. No, Other M didn’t, shouldn’t and never happened….

    1. Nintendo Tetrarch Quadramus-NX

      >>>Silence, I decide what Metroid counts or not and all count except Metroif Prime Pinball>>>

      1. You seriously count that fucking disaster Other M which clearly disrespected the Prime series by calling it “non-canon”, also misinterpreted Samus’s strong character and nearly demolished it’s established lore plus gameplay?…I don’t think you’re even the same person anymore Commander or WTF your new name is now. XP

          1. Of course I have and it’s nothing like Metroid at all. 1. The authorization of suit/weapons RETRIEVAL (not upgrades), which there is NO NEW SUIT/WEAPONS in the the game, is a fucking stupid idea. 2. The core design of the game is typical and rehashed from Super/Fusion meaning the environments, enemies and bosses are the same. 3. The story is so bland and self-contradicting to everything the series had established it almost destroyed it in the process of trying to outdo what the Prime series achieved and speaking of which, calling the Prime series “non-canon” is beyond unacceptable from Nintendo because it’s also saying that Retro Studios busted their asses to revive and build up the franchise from 2002 all for nothing. 4. No sense of characterization or relation building between Samus and Adam whom turned out to be such a bitter, mean spirited asshole instead of a respectable father figure to her especially after everything she has done for the GF to protect and save the planet/galaxy/universe between Metroid 1 to Super Metroid (Part 3) including the (TOTALLY CANON!) Prime chronicles. By the time they killed off Adam (in a stupidly written way; like why not just go in together to eject the sector or use an escape pod plus HTF does Adam know if Sector 0 Metroid are invulnerable to cold or not when you haven’t even encounter one in the fucking game?!), there was no emotional attachment between Adam, Samus and the players to feel sorry for Adam’s death or Samus’s pain of losing the only closest person to her as a family? It just happens and BTW, the selective flashbacks didn’t even explain shit about their lives or relationship in a deeper way besides when they split because Samus questioned his authority to sacrifice his brother which whom was also not explained much. So yeah, the story is shit and before I forget this detail, “The Deleter” sub plot also went nowhere and the designers seriously expect to figure out who the Deleter was by themselves without giving a clue is plainly wasteful and why reuse the “GF is corrupted and secretly produces Metroid” from Fusion anyway? The game is seriously lacking in ideas everywhere you look.

            More to the point: OTHER M IS PURE SHIT and ruined the fracture much like how Sticker Star ruined Paper Mario, Mass Effect 3/Dead Space 3, COD Ghosts, Battlefield 4, etc.

        1. Nintendo Tetrarch Quadramus-NX

          >>>The Metroid Prime series might be the best overall but they are not Metroid overall, Metroid, Super Metroid and so on are also Metroid and so is Other M>>>

          >>>Just because the idiotic portrayal of Samus and the D-Movie acting was horrible, doesn’t mean it was horrible as a game or a Metroid game in terms of challenge>>>

          >>>And if you only count the Prime series as canon then you obviously don’t know Metroid at all and nobody said the Prime series are not canon, they are another part of the story that took place between Metroid and Metroid 2 but Phazon has no relevance when it comes to the Zebesian agenda>>>

          >>>Or do you want me to bring up your love for cattle games like GTA even going so far as considering getting a PS4 just for that game?>>>

          1. Hello? Prime games did chronically connected Metroid 1 story involving the Chozo plus Space Pirates which, yes, did make an appearance in the Prime series. Prime 1 explained their ill fate with Phazon which also explains why they have scattered apart the cosmos and also connected to the Pirates failure on Zebes, Prime 2 explained their relationship with the Lunimoth and Prime 3 explained their treaty with the GF sharing knowledge and technologies between each other on Elysia. So yes, Prime trilogy did significantly explained some details for the Metroid lore so it’s canon and should be treated as such especially after all the good Prime did to revive and revolutionize the franchise much like Super Mario 64 did for Mario.

            All Other M did was provide some fan service instead being a great Metroid game of itself. It borrowed and recycled heavily from Metroid 3&4, the plot is piss poor on characterization making the characters have no relations or almost no purpose to be there, no brand new game design in any places, the authorization of suit/weapons use is a fucking joke and ultimately killed the game’s sense of exploration/rewards for players, controls are retarded because it only uses the fucking Wii Remote (D-Pad)…in a 3rd person 3D game, pathetically tried to mimic Prime with its abysmal 1st person switching without moving…that’s even worse than RE4/5 “stand while shooting” mechanic (which was intentionally done to add tension to players) and also, the shooting controls are holding your hands the entire time by automatically locking on with no sense of engagement from players.

            Stop damage controlling garbage man. I rather buy & play RE6, any EA Sports or even a fucking mobile game over that shit.

            1. Nintendo Tetrarch Quadramus-NX

              >>>Your opinion does not reflect everyone elses, I liked to play Other M as a game even though the story was horrible and Samus as well>>>

              >>>And I liked the controls and the challenge it offered, if some of you didn’t like the controls because t made you lose much or whatever then you are not great players at all>>>

              >>>And if you really would play a mobile abomination or EA sports over Other M then it says things more about you than you put yourself out to be>>>

              >>>Metroid Other M might be the worst Metroid ever but it’s far from crap like EA Sports or any other mobile garbage that’s ever been created ever, period>>>

                1. Nintendo Tetrarch Quadramus-NX

                  >>>Not once did I say it was garbage, learn to read or stay out of my path, and me a hypocrite? if anything, you are all hypocrites in here, if you are on the fence of leaving Nintendo for this mobile crap and at the same time you rather play a mobile game than Metroid Other M then that game should have made you leave years ago considering you think it’s even worse>>>

                  >>>And consdiering you have never played MM before and other games that real Nintendo fans should have played back then, you have no authority to claim anything towards me and similar>>>

                  >>>Now either, you calm yourself down and keep your Metroid Other M opinion for yourself as whatever you want to see it that’s fine, but don’t go around telling me to be a hypocrite just because I happened to like that game AS A GAME>>>

  13. The difference between Call of Duty and many Nintendo Franchises is that for many years, if not from the very first one, Call of Duty has been released practically year after year. Mario may have used many times over the space of over 25 years, but with proper time intervals and new changes that use Mario as a character for many different ways of playing. Pokemon has only just recently (possibly around 2007) began to release game after game. However, it does seem they are toning it down this year a bit (or so I believe).
