Based on the revenue figure, Pachter said the company has probably shipped about 17 million copies of the game so far. And he expects it to surpass the roughly 23 million copies sold of “Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas,” which was released in 2004 and holds the previous record.
“Call of Duty” has an edge because of its online multi-player mode. New updates to the online version can give titles a longer shelf life.
