A lot of PS5s and Xbox Series are Warzone/Fortnite/streaming app boxes.
»In reality, a lot of people just buy the new CoD game and sports game of their choice (EAFC/Madden/2K) every year, GTA when a new one releases, and maybe Mario Kart and Smash Bros to play with friends."
Of course, without formal confirmation from Activision or parent company Microsoft, for all we know, this could be an inflated or completely artificial figure. Either way, it's got a lot of shooter fans reflecting on Vanguard's success and the impact these kinds of sales have on the franchise, not least because Activision itself admitted that the game had underperformed.
As for what's next for Call of Duty? Well, according to a new report we'll find out the release dates for Flight Simulator 2024, Avowed, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, and this year's Call of Duty at the Xbox Summer Showcase, rumoured to be happening on 9th June 2024.
