COD PS4/PS5 Ports Net $435M in a Month, Highlighting Cross‑Platform Revenue

TL;DR Summary
Shadow-dropped PS4/PS5 ports of Call of Duty: Black Ops 1 & 2 by Iron Galaxy sold over 11 million copies and generated about $435 million on PlayStation in under a month, with Sony taking roughly a 30% cut. Market analyst Rhys Elliott calls the move a low-effort, high-reward “catalogue mining” strategy that keeps COD on PlayStation and funds other platforms, while hinting at a potential reboot and the upcoming Modern Warfare 4.
