I was curious about the numbers so I looked it up. First off, it was released officially on Friday, I think it had a 3 day early release for the campaign, and Activision hasnt announced anything about its sale numbers as far as I know. That is already a red flag. They usually LOVE bragging about how many copies were sold or how many players are playing during the opening weekend. None of that.

There was a report today that MWIII had a 25% drop in sales compared to MWII when it comes to physical copies in the UK. You could say that is because more people went digital or say its an actual drop in sales. Its hard to really know.

Another report is about Steam. The game isnt selling as well there either. MWII peaked at 238,522 players at launch. The report said this was WITHOUT Warzone or any free to play component. It rose to 491,670 when Warzone 2.0 launched later on. The current peak for MWIII, which includes Warzone, is 177,881. That is a 25% drop in players compared to launch MWII and a massive 64% drop compared to when Warzone 2.0 was released later that year. So there is no hard numbers but a lot of evidence is pointing to the fact that the game isnt selling well for a CoD game. It looks like people are finally putting their foot down.

Ill be honest, this is my first CoD game I didnt buy. I bought MWII for the campaign and barely played the multiplayer. After hearing that MWIIIs campaign sucked then I had no reason to buy it. Maybe they will start to actually fully listen to the community and fix the game. It has been overall bad IMO since MW 2019 came out Multiplayer wise
