The highest—grossing entertainment product of 2022 at the start - no other game, movie or music album in the world has earned $800 million in three days and $1 billion in 10 days.

Activision stressed that we are talking about revenue from sales directly to players, not retailers.

$1 billion is the equivalent of 16 million copies at a price of $60 or 14 million copies at a price of $70.
