From selling over 500K physical in 2018 the Call of Duty franchise might fall to 100K all in the space of three years. 

Overall Western AAA are the worst hit by the anemic state of the PS4/PS5 ecosystem in Japan, Battlefield is next 

The same pattern is repeating from the transition of PS3/PS4. Cod Advance Warfare sold about 147k units between the two versions (PS3 and PS4) back in 2014 when the digital rate was way lower than is it now.
