First-person shooters continue to pay off for one of the biggest video game publishers in the world.
Activision Publishing said today that Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare and Destiny are the No. 1 and No. 2 best-selling console games of the year in the United States. And Activision’s Skylanders Trap Team is also the No. 1 kids video game of 2014, based on retail sales data from market researchers NPD Group. That’s a pretty good position to be in, and it shows that the two sci-fi shooting games didn’t cannibalize each other in the first-person genre.
