Well maybe after the activision adquisition, microsoft decide to make cod great again. So no season pass, no loot boxes... Or even a COD Master Collection halo like style.

Does it matter if the charts are revenue-based?

COD don't need all those shit to sell well, It was big deal before the arrival of microtransactions and sold a lot. This news attests to this.

Genie is long out of the bottle, they ain't putting out new CODs without mtx, battle passes and other monetization schemes. Oh and it will be extremely dumb from MS to mess with the golden goose that's COD.
A COD master collection? Sure, that would be dope! But they'll probably just port the single-player stuff like they did with the recent MW2 remaster which only comes with the campaign and no MP.

On sale throughout July according to a tracker.

COD will not last forever, and if they exploit the golden goose too much it can burst, and activision-blizzard is on the way to it. At some point they will have to "behave" with their users or they will jump into whatever saga becomes fashionable during the next decade.

COD has been king for 15 years. No other game has had this run.

Ahhh yes, 4 seasonal maps a year before battlepass that splintered the community after 3 months NEVER EVER happened. Those games were basically 120/yr after it was all said and done

It's not North America, that's my source.
NPD = revenue, everywhere else = copies sold.

Wrong.
Steam global topsellers list is also revenue-based.

That's a digital store, that's not NPD/GSD...
But here:

15.5 million games were sold across Europe last month, according to the latest GSD data.

If the charts were revenue based, we wouldn't really see games jump up like this without any external factors. Europe charts are always units.
