Because it's vastly overtracked here.... Since launch month pretty much every month NPD has reported declined sales vs black ops (like the whole market has declined month after month) and situation is not that much different in Europe.

no, it's not overtracked. it just broke all sales records of the entertainment industry in the he first days/weeks and if more people interested in something buy it the first days, less will buy it after some months/years.
mw3 had $100 million higher revenue the first 5 days than the second most successful cod. and if the sales are lower now (which i don't doubt), doesn't change the fact that it sold so much more the first weeks that sales will be always before the older cod's lifetime.

As of april Modern Warfare 3 was 4.2% behind Black Ops in US after same time in the market and every month it has fallen further and further from Black Ops's pace. During march it sold less than half compared to BO last year. Considering the state of European gaming market it isn't doing better in Europe either. In UK it actually sold less than Black Ops even during the launch.

and now? vgchartz doesn't say anything else. in january, black ops sales were much higher than mw3 sales in usa and maybe in april, they were higher overall. but vgchartz has a big advantage for mw3 in europe (which i don't wonder about with huge advertisements in football games and so on).
