I wish they said actual sales, rather than revenue. I don't know how this compares to the other games.

hmmm i dont know if it works this way, but if you divided the 500M by 60, you will get around 8M copies.

I don't know if they include retailer cuts and all of that into the equation or not.

Well VGC has week 1 retail copies for Infinite Warfare at 3.19m.

This sold twice as many copies, so we could guess it's sold 6.4m just at retail, though the digital ratio may be higher this year.

It's done well anyway.

Best selling (digital) PS4 game at launch ever is good anyway u slice it. We know destiny 2 was more than 50% digital on consoles so this is good.



Halo MCC will sell 5+ million copies(including digital)

halo 5 will sell 10 million copies(including digital)

x1 will pass ps4 in USA, and UK.

Because Sony/Microsoft abuse the fact they have a monopoly on digital sales for their systems. You either pay their price or you don't get it digitally.

Disgusting really, but that's what they do. Would probably be even higher if digital were the only way to buy it, yet some people want digital only consoles... why?

Huh? Why are you blaming Sony/MS for the price Activision set? It's not "their" price.

There are reasons thrown around for why many digital titles are priced so highly, but in the end it boils down to... enough people are willing to pay it.
