Did you had to pre order the digital game for the mw remaster 30 day exclusivity?

yep.  COD infinite warfare is the first game that I buy digitally at full price because I wanted to play MW early.

Oh I then it probably did well digitally.

Wow, I thought the drop could be a simple as there not being previous gen consoles this time but the drop even just counting next gen is still over 40%. I guess more people decided to hold off on buying Infinite Warfare just for the MW remaster than Activision expected, lol.

What a weird situation to have a vastly superior remaster included. Wouldn't surprise me to see Activision bump the price for the stand alone to $40-50 when they make it available by itself.

Of course it did. CoD is not going to be dethroned this year people, mark my words

IW > Bo3. just my opinon though. Haven't bought it yet causet t I'm poor and it's too much I'll wait for it to be cheap. Campaign looks decent the bo3 campaign was complete trash.

Common Ryng, you are here for plenty of time now. No reason for me to go and actually proove this point tghat was made hundreds of times before. CoD is by far the most popular in the US. Even if it will underperform, it will still wipe the floor with BF1. Allas, you dont believe me, I really dont care. Lets just wait and see how soon will Activision will boast about a 5-6 million lead ( minimum) or that they outsold every other major FPS games this holiday season combined. It will happen. Its only a matter of time.

You know what, ok free to believe what you want. You really don't understand the point if continue to say over and over and over COD is more popular in USA, i already showed you what's the problem here, but whatever.

5 million MORE than Battlefield this year? Including retail and digital? and that's also the "minmum", which mean you probabily expect even 7-8 million more than Battlefield? Good luck, you need it.

Ok. Lets talk number than CoD BO 3 sold 12 milion retail in the US alone. Battlefiled 3 (the best selling in the series as far as I know) did 7. We already know that BF1 opened below BF3 in the UK ( if you wish to even deduct anything from one mid-size market). Lets say that LT CoD drops 40% from BO3 (I still doubt it will and I am ready to bet on that) that would still put IW at well over 7 million, above where BF3 ended its run (tough sales indicate it will do somewhere between 4 and 3, and that would put us at 5). Even so, just in the US, just at retail it would have a ~2.5 million lead, and the game will most deffinatly end up performing better WW, especially as it became the de-facto FPS on the PS4.

Did we even included the fact that you needed a digital preorder to play MW remaster day1? No? Well, guess what, for many gamers that is a serious draw. But even in best case scenario, I simply cannot see BF1 gettin in as close as 5 million to IW. Sorry, I simply cannot see that happening. But again, we will have to play the waiting game to be absolutly certain.

If BF1 can manage that, kudos, I bow to you and especially to EA as they managed to finally get close to their arguably biggest nemesis when it comes to a rival IP.

From what I've seen it looks like a decently good FPS. But I overdosed on FPS last gen so im taking it easy and will only be playing Treyarch's CoD games. (So one CoD every 3 years)

Actually no, you could also play the MWR campaign a month early if you pre-ordered the game at selected retailers which were mostly the major ones, gamestop, best buy etc. 



Let's wait and see if this is a world wide trend before we gleefully starts yelling DOOOOOM! I see a lot of potential in this game, but ultimately I also think this should/could have been its own IP



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.
