Activision is happy today - it's done the sums from America, Europe, Japan and anywhere else that gets video games, and discovered that a staggering seven million copies of Call of Duty 4 have been sold since it launched. Which was only last November.
To put that into a bit of perspective, Microsoft was dead happy that Halo 3 - Halo 'LOOK AT ME! I'M THE BIGGEST GAME EVER' 3, sold 4.82 million by the end of 2007.
With CoD4 also overtaking Halo 3 in the Xbox Live most-played charts, it looks certain that Call of Duties 5, 6 and 7 are clearly already pencilled in for release in the Novembers of 2008, 2009 and 2010 (and remember CoD 5 was already confirmed late last year when Activision and Blizzard merged).
And look out for the mobile phone version. And the Sky game. And the teletext game. And the prequel novel series. And the action figures.
