Wonder how much money is to be made in gaming? Well take a look at this: November 2011 Activision has announced that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 has grossed $775 million within its first five days on sale worldwide, topping Black Ops' $650 million debut. MW3 shattered theatrical box office, book and video game sales records. It's the best-selling video game launch of all time in the top-five USA shops: Amazon.com, Best Buy, GameStop, Target and Walmart. "Life-to-date retail sales for the Call of Duty franchise have exceeded $6 billion worldwide, which makes Call of Duty one of the most valuable entertainment properties in the world. We expect continued sales momentum, as reviews and audience enthusiasm suggest that this is the best Call of Duty game that we have ever made." Call of Duty Black Ops 2 is going to be released in November 2012. It's going to be a MASSIVE hit. That is just "one game" out of hundreds of games released. Gaming is huge business.
