So...wait. Pokemon sold around 7.5 mil in a bit under 2 weeks. And Calll of Duty sold a bit over 3.7 mil in one week. Wouldn't that mean it is a safe assumption that Pokemon is beating CoD in launch aligned sales? If so, dang. Guess that prediction wasn't crazy.
Great to see it do bad compared to previous games
Why? The game itself is awesome.....no reason to cheer for a game to bad
hopefully this is the end of COD it's a HORRIBLE franchise & it needs to die.
Why in hell would you wish any game to fail?!!
And with this... the death of futuristic warfare.
I'm curious to see how much of the sales were impacted thanks to Modern Warfare. Maybe if COD 4 didn't came bundled with Infinite Warfare, the numbers might be different.
Good to see COD finally declining, its yearly rehashing had gone on long enough
Damn big dropped compared to BO3.
What goes up must come down. How many of the 7th generation's mega franchises remain as powerhouses of game sales? It seems like those franchises that became massive in the 7th generation have all but fallen away. Long standing franchises, like Pokemon, remain strong, and it does not seem like any 8th gen franchises are really stepping up.
These are just Vgchartz numbers though, they aren't credible.
Soo finally COD is dead? God pls, i hope the good FPS will return again this gen.
Weaker first week sales than Ghosts and Advanced Warfare. And I think we can rule out long term sales picking up a la Black Ops 3 to mitigate the losses. Activision needs to turn things around and start treating it's CoD customers better or this downward sales spiral won't end.
Let's hope this is a sign that Infinity Ward will go back to making modern FPS.
I hope you're right. I keep saying that since Activision has 3 devs, have IW stick with modern, Treyarch stick with historic, and Sledgehammer stick with futuristic. That's what their best at. But now you have all 3 doing futuristic & zombies that they all don't feel unique and redundant. Activision is killing themselves.
I've read that it is rumored to be set in the Vietnam era. Though better than this future BS, I still don't like it, unless it is kind of like black ops where it is in the past and present. I think BO2 did it right by having it only 20 years in the future, it also had one the best maps and multiplayer modes (ranked) imo.
PlayStation 4 - 2,343,053
Xbox One - 1,164,294
More than 2 times bigger, but % is 63 vs 35. Something wrong.
XBO's pie is 31% from 3.7M total
Or you are wrong with the total count, then PS4 % must be bigger.
Almost the same first week sales that the ps4 version of bo3 last year, and this is combined
These are just Vgchartz numbers though, they aren't credible.
