Hard numbers to believe. If you notch it down about 200k- sounds right.
But who knows. CoD is...cod. I still can't fathom why so many people dig the franchise anymore.

Probably because it's fun. Shocking I know. :L

I can also confirm that Call of Duty is fun. No, I'm not one of the typical dudebro casual gamers that people tend to associate with CoD, I'm a core gamer who likes all types of games.

Same here!

I agree with Pachirisu. Whatever Pachirisu says, I agree with. Because Pachirisu is the TRUTH.

I love me some COD too. Nothing like slaying some noobs online. It never gets old. All the people who hate it are probably the ones who can't even get a UAV.

I really don't understand people that think the way you do.
I don't play JRPG but I won't predict gloom and doom in the industry if it booms one more time.

Because its depressing when games that are unique and try to be different don't sell, then games that make minimal changes in each iteration sell so well.

Activision must be doing something good for the series to stay relevant.

quick, fast, social, instant-fun gameplay. its what everyone ever really wants in gaming.

All of this, of course, is just my opinion.

Well ofcourse it isn't correct, the numbers are only the retail version and the digital version is not included.

I think you should appreciate what COD has done, rather than scorn it. There's nothing unique in ANY of the AAA launch games.

When the launch lineup is so mediocre and lackluster (especially 1st party), one game has encouraged people to go and buy the console in millions. This is HUGE for the PS4 as getting an installed base is unquestionably important. And COD is doing that for the PS4, opening up the possibility for newer games to be developed and being bought on the system.

^This! If not for them 3rd party "rehash" games, the PS4 would of been lucky to sell half of what it did!

It'll be wrong. I don't believe that attach rate for a second.

That said, the number should be higher. BECAUSE WE STILL AREN'T COUNTING TWO WEEKS OF UK SALES FOR COD GHOSTS.

The more I post it, the more likely ioi is to see it, so there we go.

maybe they will be counted with the first week of sales?

But these sales shoudl be being added to the first week sales, which were two weeks ago!

-_-

I just don't see why they can't go back and fix it. We got given a top 40 by Chart Track, and completely ignored the placement to exclude the PS4 version. Same with Xbone version the week after. If we didn't have any confirmation I'd just leave it. But when we get given the chart placement, seems silly just to ignore it.

Even if they added them to the FW sales, it'd still be wrong. Uff.

And if somebody talks about "future investments," I'm going to... squirm uncomfortably.

Goes for plenty of consoles really, Sal. I don't think there was any good reason to buy a PS2; PS3 or Wii-U at launch. Yet millions of people did; presumably because of "future investments".

The PS2 and PS3 were the cheapest DVD and Blu-Ray players on the market at the time of their respective launches, so there was that. And the Wii U at least had a new 2D Mario, aka a new entry in one of the most popular gaming series ever.

I dunno, I can make an excuse for most consoles being worth getting at launch if you're into some certain type of tech or game (I think the Vita, Wii U, 3DS, and Xbone all had sufficent launches in their own way), but I honestly don't get the PS4.

To preserve my sanity, I'm just going to assume that people just wanted to play a 1080p FPS and don't realize that PC's exist. That makes more sense than everyone being excited for Infamous: Second Son IMO.
