Its currently at 10.87 million or so as of Jan 9 (without others added). It made 120k sales week 3-9 Jan just from US and Europe, so likely around 150k when numbers come in. The best selling COD SKU is currently COD:MW3 for XB360 at 14.66 mil. It needs around 3.9 million more. COD traditionals legs out well throughout the year so I think it can do it.
Some may point to the fact that MW3 slip its sales more evenly due to more comparible Marketshare between PS3 and XB360, which is true. However, last gen versions of BOIII still have sold over 3 mil or so. So if you add PS3+X360+XB1 SKUs it almost equals PS4's sales. So to me while it may not split current gen sales as fairly as in the past it still has to split sales 4 ways.
I also think its very possible BOIII could become the best selling COD ever. Its currently at a little over 20 million already. COD: MW3 sold just over 30.
Taking digital into account this is a given. Back in 2011 when MW3 came digital distribution was still in its infancy. Now the digital attach rates are much higher. Even with a low by current standard digital % of say 15% its already over 23 million and adding at least 200k a week all formats.
I am not a huge COD fan these days (have not gotten into the MP since MW3 actually), but I do find it intesting that most everyone thought it was in decline and here we are possibly having the biggest one yet.

add me, the more the merrier.
