Forums - Sales - Call Of Duty Black Op's Selling Better On PS3 On Amazon

Despite whats seemed to be a disregard for PS3 fans who play online, Activision's PS3 version of Call of Black Op's is stealing the Show at Amazon.com. The recent Amazon top's sellers list shows the Xbox 360 version of the game ranking in at the 9th position and the PS3 version of the game clinching the 6th positions. No exact sales numbers were given but Black Op's on PS3 has clocked in at the number two spot right behind Little Big Planet 2; which is selling like hotcakes at IHop on two for one Sunday.

We're waiting on info of how the game is doing at retail but given Amazon's growing force in game sales, we'd expect retail sales to reflect a similar result. VGChartz is reporting that Call of Duty Black OP's has sold 10.67 million units on the XBox 360, and the PS3 version raking in a solid 8.4Million Units.


 

These sales totals represent world sales and since no one really knows how accurate VGChartz really is, it's hard to say what the real sales numbers are for Black Op's on PS3 or 360 without a current NPD data report. If the PS3 version of the game continues to trend up it could reach or surpass the suspected numbers on the XBox 360. Currently the game is trending above last years release which had the PS3 version selling only 3 million less than its XBox 360 counter part.

Then again, the two games have sold amazing well on both consoles and have already out sold Modern Warfare 2. some have claimed that Activision's has displayed a disregard for PS3 fans by hosting a sub-par server system and blaming Sony for cost cutting measure they took in design the server system for the PS3; maybe they can do without the extra 8 million in sales. Things do seem to be getting better with PS3 Black Op's fans, which was noticeable after the developer preformed a recent update to their online servers.

Regardless COD BO on the PS3 has seen a large growth form MW2, WAW, MW1 im assumming it has to do with the free online and the recent XBL price hike

I don't get it, because a game sells better on Amazon then it's automatically selling better WW? :S I wouldn't say it's the best of indications.



Disconnect and self destruct, one bullet a time.

Did this blogpost really deserve a thread?

This thread is a real laugher!!  Amazon only posts rankings of the last hours sales.  I checked at the time of my response and the 360 version was #6 and the PS3 version didn't make the top ten!!!!  Truely, Amazon is NOT any kind of indicaor.

edit: forgot about their hot sellers archive.  still, no context if it was 15 units or 15k units.  either way, the 360 version is outselling the ps3 the last 2 weeks on amazon.



Think of the baby seals before posting this dude...

Since 2011 =) In 2010 well BO on x360 outsells the PS3 one, no surprise here. If you could just stop downsizing everything Sony related the way you do it it would be cool, and stop being so full of yourself... I'm not saying this blogpost is like the second coming, but there are different ways to say what you said, other than "pfff teh nubs bla bla bla bullcrap bla bla bla bullshit bla bla bla I checked bla bla bal" See what I mean?

OT: Cool now we were taught a new thing, Amazon = world, ty blogger. Black ops sold better on X360 and if the PS3 version manages to outsell it LT, I'll bury my PS3 with KZ3 in it. (but because it won't happen I can sleep peacefully).



Last time i saw on Gametrailer Xbox 360 version Sold 5M in US on November and Ps3 Version 3M so i dont know wtf this guy is talking about unless the game sold 2M on France. Because in UK is 1.8M for 360 and 1.3M for Ps3.

In 2010:

BO PS3 EMEAA BO PS3 UK % sold in UK
3,638,146 1.308.000 36%


BO X360 EMEAA BO X360 UK % sold in UK
3,053,160 1.727.000 56.6%

Just shows how UK is important... for the X360, and shows how BO on X360 relatively failed compared to the PS3 one outside of the UK.

You have the same problem as Kowenicki recently, trying to make UK bigger than it really is, just a country among many others.

Japanese difference is about 150K , Americas Difference is about 3M so 360 wins WW.
