Call of Duty haters, you might want to stop reading for a bit as this won't make you feel good — at all. For the rest of you lot, read on.

Now that Activision's mammoth FPS is out, it seems it's already tearing through retail at a rapid pace. If you're wondering just how fast, try over-10,000-copies-sold-in-five -minutes fast!

This was revealed by Blockbuster UK commercial director Gerry Butler in a statement to MCV.

It was fantastic to see thousands of people turnout at over 450 Blockbuster stores last night and our staff really getting into the spirit of Call of Duty: Black Ops 2. We could not have served all our customers so quickly without the dedication of our staff so huge thanks for them for working so hard on the biggest night in gaming.

We sold over 10,000 copies of the game in the first five minutes alone and we anticipate that our stores will continue to serve hundreds of COD fans today as the rush continues to get the latest game in this record breaking franchise.

Does this mean Black Ops 2 is really that good or are just people conditioned to buy Call of Duty games year-in and year-out nowadays? Also of note, when do you think the series will reach its peak? Or has it done so already?
