Call of Duty Black Ops 3 - PS4 - 14.99 million
Call of Duty Black Ops 3 - XOne - 7.26 million
Total: 22.25 million, excluding digital

Well, VGchartz Lol I don’t trust this site.

Anyways, the new one ain’t touching that. Xbox is dead as a platform.

VGChartz may not be very accurate, but I doubt they're off by more than 2 million here.

While XBox is slowing down in hardware, software sales aren't that bad. And PS4 was actually up YoY in software. So Black Ops 4 can definitely outsell Black Ops 3, which released back in 2015 (when there weren't as many PS4s and X1s yet).

When was the last time a cod game touch 15 million? Lol

 

CoD WWII has more than 15 million people on the leaderboards on PS4 alone and that isn't counting people who only play the campaign and never started MP. Xbox One has about 8 million people on the leaderboards. On PC it's more or less dead, but should be another million or so. Granted, you have the occasional double accounts here and there, but that should even out with the people who only play single player. It isn't perfectly accurate, but it gives you an idea and based on that I assume that WWII has sold well over 20 million.

what was the last time COD was not the best selling game outside of the occasional GTA.

2016, beaten by Pokemon, Fifa and Uncharted.

2014, Pokemon again

2013, GTAV and Pokemon

2006-2010: Anything the Wii and DS churned out

So it's actually not that often that CoD was leading unless you add up all versions. And Fifa is doing worse than I remembered.

But considering Pokemon consistently beat CoD, if Pokemon would be to come out this year for the Switch, it should take the first spot. Otherwise, CoD, Fifa and Smash will likely duke it out on top

You have to add up all the versions. Not adding them up is just deceptive its sales of a game??



There's only 2 races: White and 'Political Agenda'
2 Genders: Male and 'Political Agenda'
2 Hairstyles for female characters: Long and 'Political Agenda'
2 Sexualities: Straight and 'Political Agenda'

Either Fifa or Call of Duty. As always

I will go with Red Dead Redemption 2. But I wouldn't be surprised if Black Ops 4 took the crown.

It's hilarious how you don't include all versions of third-party games to make Nintendo games look stronger. lol



If BO4 turns out to be very decent and we see Switch port, I'd say BO4. WWII sold over 17 million and I don't see new BO selling less than that. Unless ... we see Pokemon for Switch in 2018. That might change everything. I honestly don't think that RDR2 will reach CoD numbers this year, but it will have legs.



Makes no difference to me what sells the most this year. My dollars go to Far Cry 5, Sea of Thieves, and Forza Horizon 4. Hopefully MSs E3 presentation has a fourth game to look forward to this year!
