The last-gen versions of Black Ops 3 were pretty atrocious and still made a decent chunk of BO3's sales. About 3-4 million of them. It may be obvious to you that, the current-gen versions were better. But to the casual crowd naive enough to get BO3 on last gen, there's probably a large number of people who are done with series given the kind of shitpile they got for the money. The negative IW reveal doesn't paint a compelling narrative for those people to upgrade console for the next CoD. |
The current gen BO3 sales were over 20 million, so those 3-4 million sales wouldn't make much of an impact. There's also no way Sun/Moon will end up selling over 20 million. Also, last-gen versions of BO3 weren't nearly as bad as Unity was. They were pretty much the same game with downgraded graphics and no campaign and most of the casuals don't even care about the single player in CoD. Also from what it seems, all the hate on Infinite Warfare is just people jumping on the hate train. Once the game actually comes out the casuals will stop caring and buy it. I'm convinced that Infinite Warfare won't sell as well as BO3, mostly due to all the competition this holiday season with Battlefield 1 and Titanfall 2, but it won't sell worse than Sun/Moon between both platforms.
