Looking at the bar graph above, it is easy to see that the franchise has grown steadily for each release. It wasn’t until the release of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare that the franchise took off to become one of the bestselling games on a yearly basis. The first three games were popular but it was in a crowded market of World War II shooters. The Modern Warfare trilogy has sold a combined 64.92 million units, a little more than half of the total sales. In the chart above, the Call of Duty franchise has achieved lifetime to date sales of 124.65 million on consoles.

The franchise has taken place in World War II, the Cold War, modern times, and Black Ops II set to release later this year will take place in the future. The Call of Duty franchise is a first person shooter, with two main developers Infinity Ward and Treyarch. If there is a particular franchise (no matter how obscure) you want to see the sales history for, requests are always welcome.
