"Black ops is off to a blockbuster start" said Rod cuastic executive vice president and general manager of call of duty to business wire .
This is a huge course-correct for the series after many fans seem to fall off with the annual release franchise with the launch of infinte warfare back in 2016 which received 77 on Ps4 on metacritic.
Last year's COD World War 2 returned the franchise on the 20th century root and fared a little better but only received 79 on ps4 on metacritic.
Thats not to say that COD World War 2 didn't do good , it also made a half million in launch sales which doubled infinite warfare launch.
With black ops 4 doing so well in terms of sales and critical reception currently setting at 85 on ps4 metacritic , This is a big win for activision.
Black ops 4 is also setting new franchise record for most combined players, average hours per player and a total number of hours played on current generation consoles according to business wire.
The game is also most viewed on twitch in franchise history according to business wire which can only further it's popularity, Without less noting the absence of campaign and the addition of the very popular Blackout battle royal mode making the all difference .
The game has still a little way to go before reaching monolithic success of it's Ps3 and Xbox 360 gyro cousins, with modern warfare 2 and black ops 1 and 2 taking the top spots with all three games having around 30 million units sold each as of January 2018.
If the enormous success of World War 2 and Black Ops 4 are recently anything to go by, the franchise does seem to be making a comeback.
