I didn't hear anything near this bad about CoD WW2 last year - it's just that it got really outshined by Battlefield One.

@bolded? WTF? Just give me time to edit the post with the infos

Those videos you posted are just run-of-the-mill "critical" arguments on COD games. Sure, some points presented are true, but the average COD player doesn't care about all the stuff they are complaining about. The internet is filled with hate videos towards COD WW2, even though the game wasn't really that bad. it's just that these type of videos bring in the most views, because it's COD. The fact that Black Ops 4 doesn't have a single-player campaign is irrelevant to the average COD player and it will in no way shape its fate. The finished product could be 5 times better than CODWW2 but it will still get at least the same amount of hate from certain people. And Battlefield 1 released two years ago, not last year.

Here's a few of the many,many similar videos on CODWW2, bearing in the mind the game is probably over 16 million copies sold on PS4, digital included.

Why Is Call of Duty: WWII SO BAD?!

 

Call of Duty Ww2 DISAPPOINTMENT.

Call of Duty WW2 SUCKS!!

Bottom line is: pretty tired with the same statements every year on how COD will fail sales-wise, while the big picture doesn't really change.

Okay, didn't see nearly that much bad news back then, my bad.

However, I still expect the sales to be down a notch or two because the channels linked are bigger, hence I think will have a bigger reach. Considering the PS4 version did 11.6M last year according to VGC and the migration to digital sales is increasing, I'd say this Blops IIII will make 8-10M retail sales on the PS4 this year. Nothing catastrophic and some part of it goes to digital, but somewhat diminished sales nonetheless.
