18.2 mill.... and still selling about 175k a week retail. With digital being much bigger this gen the sales will seem smaller on this site. I usually assume a 15-20% digital rate (which I think is on the conservative side) so I feel safe to say its all ready at 20-21 million and selling around 200k a week.

At the "peak" of the franchise CoD was selling 30 million (MW3 and BO1, and back in 2010 and 2011 digital was still in the infant stage, did they even have a digital version of these games?)

Based on its current tragectory AW will sell over 25 million with no issues (it could even reach that by the end of the year) and could hit 30 million including digital before all is said and done. COD Ghost current stands at 25 million factoring digital it is probably over 28 million).

So is call of duty as big as it was? It is appears it is pretty close to the same. And CoD 2015 will have the advantage of launching on an 8 GEN userbase of close to 50 million(userbase definity will reach that during CoD 2015's holiday season).

Ghost was a bad game. AW is actually really fun.

Agree!

Its far from dead. Maybe in 5-10 years.

Exactly CoD: Ghost is the worst in the series since CoD:3 and it still sold Over 27 million.

I think we the 1st gen 8 exclusive CoD launches we will see the hype back (which I think is why people think CoD is down because the hype train is more quiet) like it was for MW2.

We all hoped it would lol Maybe Titanfall being multiplat will hurt it a little.

Another factor is also the fatigue of gen 7 and gen 8 that hadn't really start yet.

I think if Advance Warfare would have been another letdown (like Ghost) it would have done alot of damage to the franchise. As long as they keep making improvements like they did this year I dont mind them coming out. When the GEN 8 exclusive CoD releases we will see the masses really move on from last gen and if MS and Sony are smart they drop the price when it comes out to try to "catch the wave"

That's true, even my COD friends didn't like Ghosts. Wish Activision would make a current gen only CoD but it's still selling well on gen7 consoles, maybe next year xD

It also launched against the monstrosity that is GTA 5 which targets much of the same crowd. It could be why it started slower but had better legs (% wise) than CoD usually does.
