Call of Duty Black Ops First Strike DLC Sells Like Gangbusters
During an earnings call Activision revealed the first Black Ops DLC pack sold 1.4 million copies on its first day on Xbox Live.
Selling for $15 apiece, this means the publisher grossed over $21 million in a 24-hour span, which Activision Publishing division CEO Eric Hirschberg says is a 20 percent increase over the Stimulus Package DLC offered for Modern Warfare 2. Their point being? Losing Infinity Ward has yet to weaken the FPS Goliath. If anything, it's stronger than ever.
