I think its really possible for overwatch to have more sales than infinitive  warfare this year especially after fans outrage and the competition infinitive warfare will be up against this fall(titanfall 2, Battlefield 1). Also CoD isnt really a big seller on PC so i think that. will give an advantage to overwatch. Heres what im expecting

Cod IW

PS4- 8ml

Xb1- 5ml

Pc- 500k

= 13.5ml in 2016

Overwatch

PC- 6ml

Ps4- 5ml

Xb1- 3ml

= 14ml.

Thoughts?

Nah, CoD 4 will give a strong boost to Infinite Warfare, though i believe that when CoD 4 will be sold separately (like by starting 2017), it will really crush Infinite Warfare legs.

That said, this year and lifetime, Infinite Warfare wins by an huge margin, even though i expect OverWatch to sells A LOT.

COD is hated for some years now.That dosent prevent it selling 20+ million every year.So no, it wont pass COD



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

The only way to get IW is by pre ordering and a lot of people usally don't pre order games and buy them around launch so i think it won't have a huge effect.

If Overwatch is heavily marketed on consoles then yes.

Well Bo3 sold like 18ml on consoles and if we take the ps3 and xb360 it sold over 15ml on ps4 and xb1. Now considering how this isn't a black ops game i could see it selling 2ml less on consoles.

Overwatch outselling CoD would be awesome.

I doubt it'll happen tho.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

Don't see it happening.
