How much money does Call of Duty make?

Answer 1

The Call of Duty series of games makes a lots of money, but the answer to your question is very complex. Do you want to count or exclude money made by the stores selling the games. What about the profit sharing checks that go out to the individuals that worked on the design of the game. Whatever answer you receive will be in dispute as that is one reason Infinity Ward's former employees quit and filed suit against Activision over the profit sharing on Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2. As far back as November 2009 Activision had already sold over 3 billion dollars worth of Call of Duty series games and sales of just Call of Duty Black Ops and Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 have already added over another billion to the total since that time. Sales of MW3 and advance sales of Black Ops II along with additional sales of all the previous releases have added well over another billion to the total. Sales of add ons also continue well after next game releases.
