Just How Big Is The Call of Duty Franchise

Without a doubt Call of Duty is one of the biggest video game franchises of all time. I know that there are some people who are “too cool” or who think that despite the fact they have not played a COD game in ten years say that they are all the same. The fact of the matter is this is a series that just seems to go from strength to strength.

Activision recently released a press release that was talking about changes to the company’s corporate structure. In all honesty, it was not that interest, but what was interesting was them talking about how huge the Call of Duty franchise is.

Since 2003, Call of Duty has become the main first person shooter series in the world, seeing off games like Medal of Honor and Battlefield in the process. There has been 15 main Call of Duty games released on PC and consoles. As well as this there have been many different handheld spin-off Call of Duty games too.

To put into scale just how big the Call of Duty franchise has become. This press release revealed that the Call of Duty series had made more money than Marvel Cinematic Universe and also the Star Wars movies as well! How insane is that? Now I know this is a little odd to compare them as the price of a game is a heck of a lot more than the cost of a movie ticket, but it is still amazing to think that over its lifetime Call of Duty has made more money than the two largest movie franchises of all time!
