Even a crap COD game will make it to the top in UK. It really prints money!

It sold most copies on PS5 which is nothing but proof that the vast majority on Playstation community don´t give a damn whether COD is now an Xbox IP or not.

I guess everyone is happy but some hateful fanatics.

It is what it is.

Multiplayer is Great Campaign not so Great Good to see that even with Microsoft buying Activision Most Call of duty fans are on PlayStation.

I'm pretty sure only fanatics are happy here. Issues with this year's release are well documented and you can look to metacritic to see its critical reception. All these people calling it out are not 'hateful' clearly.

Are you just trolling or do you honestly believe that, based on the things brought up so far with MW3, the only people that are NOT happy are "hateful" fanatics?
Like... at least if you're trolling you don't actually believe the nutty things you say.

[Crows90]

The only fanatic here is you my man.
So you just ignore the fact CoD has been selling more on PlayStation all of the time? If they made it exclusive that's when you'd stop seeing it. But you also skip over the fact that it sold less boxed copies than the previous one.

You ALSo skip over the fact that cod is mostly for casuals. The vocal fans aren't casuals.

You claim to dislike CoD but are every single cod article that shows anything positive for itself as and Xbox IP now.

It is what it is.

Don´t worry, we both gonna die before MS makes COD exclusive to Xbox.

"You ALSo skip over the fact that cod is mostly for casuals. The vocal fans aren't casuals."

"Vocal fans" don´t buy games. Casuals do. And they´re happy. If their happiness make you feel bad, well, you´re sick in the head.

"You claim to dislike CoD but are every single cod article that shows anything positive for itself as and Xbox IP now.

You claim to dislike Starfield and yet you´re on every Starfield article. See what I did there?

Call of duty was and still is Sony’s biggest revenue/profit.

Lmao.

But serious question now….. how much does MS make from every COD sold?

[Obscure_Observer]

About 70% from each sale.

[Barlos]

Of course it does. People will lap up any old CoD crap fed to them.

[bRuud83]

The masses has no taste.

[Chris12]

The masses know what they like and buy it. It's the idiot few that try and tell them what they should like are the problem.

[babadivad]

Wow, guess it really doesn't matter anymore.
