Call of Duty is one of the most successful franchises in the history of video games and remains a true market giant. Activision's IP plays in a different league because even in its most challenging moments, it sells like hotcakes, and success was inevitable for this year's installment, the controversial Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III claims the top spot in Europe and was the best-selling game in November
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III was the best-selling game in Europe during November 2023, according to the monthly sales report published today by Gamesindustry.biz. While the victory of Activision Blizzard's annual FPS installment is not a surprise, it is noteworthy because it has been surrounded by controversy for offering a lackluster campaign mode and a multiplayer experience that could easily have been sold as DLC. Rumors before its launch indicated doubts at Activision about whether to release it as paid DLC or give it the label of an annual release, opting for the latter despite the scandal.
Call of Duty continues to be unstoppable, and this year's installment, despite the controversy, is a success
Regarding its own context, the lower quality of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III compared to previous installments took its toll on the European market, with reported sales dropping by 33% compared to the sales that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II had at its peak.
Despite this, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III ultimately emerged victorious, claiming the top spot, a result that aligns with the one obtained in the United States last month, confirming that Activision's IP remains unstoppable in the market.
