Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare and Destiny are the two best-selling console games of 2014 in the United States, publisher Activision has announced.
Activision confirmed last month that Advanced Warfare was the biggest entertainment launch of 2014, and, having already claimed the most streamed accolade on Twitch during its launch week, it now seems that this year’s Call of Duty installment, unsurprisingly, has taken the prized position of the best-selling console game of 2014.
According to Activision’s press release (with data from the NPD Group), this is the sixth consecutive year that a Call of Duty title has outsold any other game in the month of November, and Advanced Warfare is also at the top of the sales for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
Following Advanced Warfare in second place is Bungie’s open-world IP Destiny, while Activision has also said that Skylanders: Trap Team is the No. 1 purchased title for kids in the U.S.
“To date, 2014 has been a series of number ones for Activision Publishing: Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare is the No. 1 top-selling game of the year, Skylanders is the No. 1 kids video game franchise of the year, and Destiny is the No.1 top-selling new video game franchise of the year,” says Eric Hirshberg, CEO of Activision.
“We are excited about how fans have responded to Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, Destiny and Skylanders Trap Team, and have even more great new content in store in 2015.”
