<em>Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3</em> shattered sales records when it launched last November. The wildly popular first-person shooter sold an estimated 6.5 million copies and pulled in more than $400 million <a href="http://www.bgr.com/2011/11/11/call-of-duty-modern-warfare-3-earns-record-breaking-400-million-in-24-hours/">during its first 24 hours of availability</a>, and more than 12 million copies were purchased over the game’s launch week, <a href="http://www.bgr.com/2011/11/15/call-of-duty-modern-warfare-3-declares-war-on-sales-records-12m-copies-738m-in-first-week/">racking up about $740 million in revenue</a>. But Activision isn’t done, of course, and the next major launch in the Call of Duty franchise is shaping up to be a big one. ”The next Call of Duty will bring meaningful innovation to the series,” Activision Publishing chief Eric Hirshberg told <em>The Guardian</em>. The executive wouldn’t elaborate on exactly how the next major CoD release — presumably <em>Call of Duty: Black Ops 2</em> — might revolutionize the popular game, but he undoubtedly piqued the interest of millions of gamers around the world. Despite being released in mid-November last year, Activision’s <em>Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3</em> was <a href="http://www.bgr.com/2012/02/10/video-game-sales-plummet-in-january-xbox-leads-consoles-for-sixth-straight-month">still the best-selling video game in the U.S. last month</a> according to recent data from market research firm The NPD Group.<span id="more-126648"></span>
