Call of Duty was the top-selling console video game franchise globally for 2016 based on revenue, Activision has announced.
This is the seventh time in the last eight years that Call of Duty has come out on top. The franchise also made it eight years straight as the best-selling in the US.
Furthermore, Infinite Warfare was the top-selling video game on consoles in the US based on total revenue and units sold from both physical and digital – excluding hardware bundles.
“Call of Duty is the #1 console franchise worldwide in 2016,” said Eric Hirshberg, Activision CEO. “We’re thankful to our players for once again putting Call of Duty on top, and we recognize how rare this is – to do year after year. That’s why we push to deliver innovations and incredible gameplay that are worthy of the best fans in the world time and again. And we have an exciting year ahead in 2017.”
Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare’s first DLC Map Pack, Sabotage, will launch first for PS4 on January 31.
