Just emphasising so that people don't jump to conclusions.
Some of GAME's consoles bundles include it.

Some of GAMEs console bundles included Ghosts, could be that.

Don't think it would have big changes, most people buy COD in first day.
Maybe Fallout 4 and Battlefront will be big winner in this holiday.

Need for Speed outsold Halo 5?
I can't be reading that right...

2 days of tracking compared to 5
Halo launched last week and NFS launched on 2 formats compared to 1. It would have been surprising if Halo had kept up based on the week 1 sales, but it dropped 78% week on week.

I would've thought there'd be more sales on a Friday than Tuesday since nobody's got school or work to worry about.
91% of sales on next-gen makes me question why they even port CoD to PS360 anymore. They're clearly doing more bad than good here, as they're only tarnishing their brand with casual gamers who notice the lack of campaign and mediocre sub-par graphics.

Even still, there has been next to no buzz surrounding that game.

9%? Might be the last time we see PS3/360 ports you think?

Only 2 days of sales rather than 5 I suppose.
Well sure, I've read that bit, but if there's a game I would expect a fuckton of people to show up on Day 1 it would be CoD.
We'll see next week if it has considerably lower drop than previous CoDs.

Seems like franchise fatigue is hitting nearly everything that isn't a sports license. Not a good look for a contracting market being made up mostly of a shrinking base of core players. AAA console publishers doubling down on core IPs approaching double-digit numbers of entries desperately need fresh new designs over new content, not just new names and hotter looks for old games.

TBH there's been hardly any buzz for many games this holiday

Pretty even among PS4 and XBO. Isn't that also including bundles? If so that's pretty impressive for XBO.
Three spots to behind only multiformat new releases and other megafranchises?
Yeah, it'll include those PS4 bundles.
I think they're more talking about the 78% loss of sales week on week.
Xbox has a strong CoD following.
78% is a pretty hefty drop

is that drop bigger than the average?
It's even more surprising considering that the game didn't had some incredible week 1 sales.

You have any numbers that back your statement up?
Tuesday releases are usually in the 60-80% range.
Ah, my bad. I hadn't noticed the figure.
Mind my ignorance, but why does the day matter? Especially Tuesday to Friday, where I would of thought more people would of bought it due to the weekend.
Bit of a shame it's ranked 7th, as it's definitely not the 7th best in the series.

9% for PC and last gen is quite large.
Keeping that extra 8% engaged before they upgrade to current gen paid off I'd say.

A lot of people will pick up the game during their weekly grocery shop- which could be any day of the week.
luckily for COD the digital sales are 40> .. I have 9 friends who bought it digital, only one bought it at a shop.

Digital sales bros, digital sales. It is probably the best selling CoD ever. Digital.

Maybe you can accurately work out the digital % for CoD and it might work out the best selling if 90% bought it digital
It is actually a shame we don't have numbers at the moment, then we could add in the 20% average and see how it compares to the last gen CoDs.
A Tuesday release also has the weekend for sales + Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

leeh now has his own classic quote, just like The Artisan. =]
You guys couldn't be any more wrong, only 5 of my friends bought this and we all got it digitally. Come on, physical isn't even selling anything these days. Only kids who's parents by them their games get physical. We all know this.Maybe you can accurately work out the digital % for CoD and it might work out the best selling if 90% bought it digital
People are more likely to buy digitally on a Tuesday than a Friday
I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

This is so much meta right now.

CoD games have strong openings indeed, but they also keep selling for a long time. They are steady sellers.

2 days vs 5 days kinda makes the comparison broken.
Parents be all like 'we don't know what the digitals are'.
They then lie down and turn to dust allowing the Earth to reclaim them.
That are physical numbers. Sales for Physical PC games are pretty much non-existent in UK.
