Seriously, it's an unstoppable juggernaut.
COD continues to be a beast, also not surprised it did that well, the MW series is always an 'on year' for COD and people were hungry after the 'off year' that was Vanguard. This is exactly why MS are dropping 70bn on them.
Interesting to know. I wonder where the sales breakdown is? Had to have helped Sony break records during the holiday season when they had more consoles to sell on the market.

And it’s not fair that two other studios will experience a boost in sales compared to their previous titles, all because they share the CoD brand name with Infinity Ward…
….but that’s how brand names work. It takes a couple of consistent bad experiences for enough people to turn away and finally kill the franchise.
And IW just manages to lure back enough OG CoD vet devs just often enough to push their games from “good” to “great” like twice a decade; and effectively rejuvenate their overall CoD brand value, just enough.
MW and MW2 were great, but they still haven’t topped CoD4’s campaign, IMO.
But, I guess they still have to release the second half of MW2’s campaign.
