IDK about that. Like I said, I have never seen COD perform this poorly on the Bestsellers lists. I know we still have a month til launch, but usually it would still be much higher on the yearly list by now. I'm not saying it will sell horribly, just not as well as previous versions. |
It does seem unusually low. Even the VGC pre order number seem especially low this close to release. Or is it just me? 7 weeks from release and the US preorder numbers for the top SKU of CoD:AW are about on par with where the PS3 version (the bottom SKU) of Destiny was at the same time before release. With Ghosts, all SKUs, even PS3, were much higher at this point. And I don't think I need to mention how much higher BlOps 1 and 2 or MW3 were. Even MW2 back in '09 was farther ahead at this point. It the slowest CoD preorder that VGC has on record. Microsoft is just doing what worked for them in the past, but it may not be their fault here, CoD may just seriously be dying. Not as dead as something like, say, Just Dance, but dying. Whatever will Activision do without CoD? I guess it just has to hope Destiny takes off as a series despite the poor critical reception.
