According to analysts, Black Ops 2 has a 14% sales decline compared to Modern Warfare 3.Watch the Nuketown Zombie trailer below.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 has sold 4.5 million copies on Xbox 360 and 2.9 million copies on PS3 since its November 13th launch, making a combined total of 7.4 million units. However, Modern Warfare 3 sold a combined 8.8 million units by the same time last year – equating to a drop of 14%.
Longbow Research analyst James Hardiman says that Activision’s $1billion sales announcement was hasty: “We do not believe that Activision did itself any favours by putting out a press release touting that Black Ops II had crossed $1bn in just 15 days, faster than the 16 days required for Modern Warfare 3 to reach the $1bn mark. What management did not mention is the fact that with an earlier release date, Modern Warfare 3 was able to reach $1bn a day before Thanksgiving, whereas Black Ops II was not able to get there until after Cyber Monday.”
The Nuketown Zombies Bonus Map is now available on Xbox 360 for Season Pass holders. It will release on other platforms with an “exclusive in-game calling card” later on.
