I had no idea call of duty was such a big deal. It’s not my jam so I never notice it.
GRAND THEFT POKEMON OF DUTY
I made $100 million just from typing that out
I was thinking the same thing. I’ve never played a single one or even seen gameplay footage of them. Who is playing these games? I assumed they were just generic shooters.
Sure, but they’re the generic shooter. And it had a big resurgence during COVID with everyone and their mothers playing Warzone. I hadn’t touched CoD since MW3 in like 2012 and I put so many hours into the 2019 Modern Warfare game with Warzone.
This is why Sony was making such a big deal about Call of Duty during the discussions about Microsoft acquiring Activision (owners of the Call of Duty franchise). Sony wanted reassurance that the Call of Duty games would still come out on the PlayStation consoles, and not be exclusive to Microsoft’s platforms (Xbox and Windows). When you see that Call of Duty has been the best selling game nearly every year recently, you can understand Sony’s plea.
Mario Kart mechanics peaked in MK64
So pretty much history of COD with some other games alongside
Would be interesting to take this list all the way back to Pong in the 1970s.
TLDR: Call of Duty.
And Pokémon, holy crap. The same games were the best sellers multiple years in a row??
Between the cards and games, Pokemon was all everyone would talk about for several years in a row
Call of Duty… Call of Duty… Call of Duty… Animal Crossing
Did something happen in 2020?
