Activision boasts it already sold-in $1 billion worth of Call of Duty: Ghosts to retail

Last year, Call of Duty: Black Ops II made $1 billion at retail in 16 days. This year, Grand Theft Auto: V reached that same figure after only three days. Now, it’s Call of Duty: Ghosts’ turn to see if it can race to the $1-billion mark.

Call of Duty publisher Activision isn’t revealing how much the latest military shooter made at retail on its first day (the game launched Tuesday for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii U, and PC), but the company did reveal that it already has $1 billion worth of Call of Duty: Ghosts in the retail chain. That refers to the games Activision has sold to stores like Wal-mart and GameStop and is not a reflection of how much consumers have spent on the title.
