Yeah, we know, Activision. Call of Duty: Black Ops made a lot of money. It should, being that’s it’s $60 a pop. But just because McDonalds has “billions and billions” served doesn’t mean I’m going to go out of my way to partake.

In its first five days of availability, CODBLOPS made a whopping $650 million worldwide. That’s more than a few copies sold, a point I will readily admit.

The game also set a record for number of people playing concurrently on Xbox Live. That would be 2.6 million players.

So enjoy your Big Macs, kiddos, I’ll be dining on filet mignon.
