In the past 10 yrs CoD has been the best selling game worldwide except in 2013 with GTA V, and 2024 with Animal Crossing. Even with those years, CoD was still a close second.
Over 31 Million Copies Sold\n\n Call of Duty: Black Ops is the best-selling game in the franchise and was released on Nov. 10, 2010. The game technically serves as a sequel to World at War, which can help explain why it sold so well. It also had the zombies game mode for the first time since its originator.
