Activision has submitted a press release which reports that their mammoth title, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has hauled in $1 billion since its release just a little over two months ago!
“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.”
So it is no surprise to hear that game titles are bashing down the door of ‘revenue leagues’ that are known with huge movie titles. Most of last years movie titles didn’t fetch anywhere near that revenue in two months and only “Avatar” could boast that amount last year.
Teens, if you are thinking of what to study when you are finished school; you would be silly not to consider the gaming industry.
