And if they hadn't forced people to buy the LE to get the MW remaster, the numbers would be even worse.

I'm glad. I hope the game flops about as much as a CoD game can "flop", because it would be good for the franchise. They need to reel everything in and scale back the idiocy of the game. Wouldn't be surprised to see them copycat EA and return to the World War setting.

Call of Duty doomed, guys?

Good News when CoD sells worse, there are lots of games that get overshadowed/ extremely low sales due to most people buying just CoD or FIFA, when said games sell worse it means that there's more money to be spent on better titles !

I dont know. Reviews arent stellar. I think that digital download is also a big part this year. Its definitely a decline, but on a global scale it will be by far the biggest shooter released this year, so yeah...

Huge drop. But I am not surprised. Activision failed to connect with their fanbase with Infinite Warfare.

Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuum really? by FAR ?

First of all, at this point is likely Battlefield 1 will sell better. You talk about digital sales, but that's the strong part of Battlefield 1 considering the series is HUGE on PC, while COD is not. So, if you include digital sales, Battlefield 1 is super close (if not biggest?) than COD IW first week in UK. The sales you see first week (328k COD, 259k BF1) are retail only, with digital BF1 and COD are likely at the exatly same level.

And in anyway, whater will wins, no fucking way COD will be BY FAR the biggest game. IF will beat Battlefield 1, will be by an insignificant margin.

When said games sell worse, most people buying COD or Fifa buy their alternatives or don't buy anything at all. You'll not get these people to buy Nintendo games, indie titles, or JRPG's.

COD selling worse means less money rolling around in the industry, and that is bad.

The mindless hate for this game is a bit saddening. The SP campaign was honestly fantastic. Just finished it.

The MP however is kinda shitty and to be fair thats what is the main draw to the game.

In the UK it might be closer, but on a global scale.... lets dont kid ourselves. No matter how good BF1 is, CoD will slaughter it in the US. Even Ghost had legs, this game will have them as well EA pretty much sacrificed Titanfall 2 to eat away from the CoD pie this year. The difference is that the next year CoD will come back and do even bigger numbers. Just as we had fall in interest in several CoD's the same happened here as well.

OT: I havent bought a CoD since World at War, so yeah, Im not a huge fan of the series. Neither did I buy a Battlefield for that matter so which wins means jack shit for me.

FIFA picked up some of CoD's slack.. :/
