Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 Makes A Boatload of Money

No one should be surprised that Activision and Treyarch's latest installment of the most successful video game franchise of all time would see a massive return.  Today Activision has announced that Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 has earned a combined worldwide revenue of $1 billion in only 15 days. 

What's even more interesting to note, and Activision is pressing this one pretty far, that the company broke the record set by the box office and 2009's Avatar, which hit a $1 billion in just 17 days. The company also went on to say that over 150 million hours have been logged into Black Ops 2 between PSN and Xbox Live.

It's not all high fives just yet though. Most industry analysts are stating that sales for the last two games are trending downward.
