Recently there were several postings online and on Social Media touting how Hogwarts Legacy outsold Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III and how this was a rare instance of a title beating that franchise in yearly sales. In a new Opinion Piece the question of if having a ten-month advantage in the release window and other factors should have been factored in.
A recent bundle trailer for Call of Duty: MW3 Zombies has been secretly showcasing a PvP game mode in MWZ coming in Season 4.
Reload your Season 3 experience of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III with today’s update!
The Season 3 Reloaded game update will roll out this morning across all platforms. While you wait, take some time to read the Patch Notes for a comprehensive list of gameplay improvements, weapon balance, new features, and bug fixes you can expect when you play.
The game is now broken and displays “dev error 5433” and won’t start a multiplayer match

Shahmeer from eXputer: "I've always wondered whether the success of Hogwarts Legacy had much to do with nostalgia. The RPG is great but certainly not free of issues."
I totally agree, and no replay value for sure but enjoyed every minute I was playing it. Not a Harry Potter fan but still really enjoyed
I still haven’t finished it, mostly due to it not holding my interest after 20 hours. Wouldn’t say it’s a bad game, wouldn’t say it’s amazing I really can’t judge it fully due to not completing it.
lol are people upset because I said I put 20 hours into the game and that because I haven’t finished I won’t criticize it’s value or if nostalgia generates it’s success? That’s funny
Harry Potter is one of the biggest IPs in the world. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out why it sold so much. It’s a great game on top of that, so the math kind of maths here.
Can’t wait for the article on if Zelda or Mario only sold well due to nostalgia.
They're trying to find a fake reason for its success...the mainstream hate how successful it became because of the writer behind the series.
So now they want to say that people bought it not because they liked it but only because of nostalgia....as if harry potter is really that old or even a classic IP in the game industry.
That doesn't even make any sense. The author made those statements before the game released. People knew ahead of time and wanted a boycott.
But most people knew any boycott would only punish the people who worked on the game and put their hearts into it (like most boycotts).
So many people bought it, enjoyed it immensely, and moved on.
@CrimsonWing69 A greatly in demand IP only takes you so far, if it was crap quality then the reviews and word of mouth would have stalled its sales. But it is a good game (judged by Metacritic and user reviews) and that has given the game legs.
ngl, it got me in the first half hour
after that, a big let down, mediocre at every step
only fans are praising it
In what way was it mediocre, can't really find anything about it that was mediocre and I'm not a hp fan
It's still a good game almost time for a 2nd playthrough, the passion they put into it is🔥🔥 crazy how after a couple months or a year folks get to complaining about this n that about certain games smh childish mfs
If anyone thinks mw3 is better than hogworts they don’t like video games, they just like call of duty.
Too much spin. It's an objective acknowledgement of what sold the most in a 12 month period. Nothing more or nothing less.
Hogwarts for me is alright in doses. I liked it but I can play it straight though like a dq11 or ff. It's solid though. It's flat-out out the better game when comparing it to cod. Period. It was refreshing something different. Where as mw3 is DLC
Far as sales. Yes it is still damn impressive seeing as cod is the best selling game every year releasing at Christmas. So it's window is the Sam every year. Idc how long the game was on the market l, neither should you, and neither do the devs. It's impressive to beat it.
Sounds like whoever wrote this is a tab bit butthurt about it though. Just let it be.
Hogwarts Legacy and COD3 are, all together, two very different types of games. Why would it matter to compare the two?
I personally hated hogwarts got boring quick
