Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare has just been released recently, along with a lot of hype for it. However, the initial Infinite Warfare sales result has not seemed to look good for the publisher.
Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare sales reach only half of Black Ops 3!
Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare was one of the most anticipated games for the holiday. When it was launched on November 4, there was a lot of hype surrounding the game. However, there have been less than desirable reviews for the game so far. Nothing too negative about the game, as the game itself is considered good, but the general consensus is that, the game has not managed to distinguished itself from other releases this year. For your information, before the release of this game, there was Battlefield 1 and Titanfall 2.
For the past week, the new Call of Duty has topped the UK charts for sales. However, the launch sales has greatly decreased, by 48.4%, compared to last year’s series installment, Black Ops 3, according to GFK Chart-Track. Even if taking we take out the PS3 and Xbox 360, which Infinite Warfare is not released on, and Black Ops 3 was, sales still declined by 43.6%. Still, it is worth noting that this game’s launch is the second biggest, just after FIFA 2017. It is quite a feat, considering the game is released after two games of the same genre – Battlefield 1 and Titanfall 2.
Owners of Infinite Warfare are also eligible to receive the Modern Warfare Remastered edition. Developer Raven Software seems to have a very humorous mind, as they put in sort of a throwback to a known glitch in the game back in the original game in 2007. As in the picture above, a wet floor sign now stands at the place where players could skip outside of the map before, and reach a mounted machine gun. Good old glitch!
Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare sales – Still good despite setbacks!
Overall, despite decreased in figures, the Infinite Warfare sales number is still considered quite good, considering the end of the year was packed with big releases, especially November. Hopefully in the coming months, sales will look much better.
