Name of Obligation: Black Ops 7 isn’t having an excellent time, it appears. There was already some suspicion after the preliminary Steam participant counts appeared low in comparison with final yr’s entry, however now we’ve received some affirmation of precisely how dangerous it could be.
Based on the newest European gross sales knowledge, as reported by Christopher Dring of The Sport Enterprise, Black Ops 7 has offered 63% much less copies in its opening week than Battlefield 6 achieved throughout its launch week in October.
Let’s do some fast math: we all know that Battlefield 6 offered 7 million copies in its first week, so if the GSD gross sales knowledge is appropriate, that places Black Ops 7 at roughly 4.4 million copies offered.
On prime of that, The Sport Enterprise additionally declare’s that it’s “additionally down by greater than 50% over final yr’s Name of Obligation: Black Ops 6.”
If that’s true, that’s an enormous drop in gross sales for the model. It’s not sufficient to declare the franchise useless or something – it has suffered massive gross sales drops earlier than – however it’s nonetheless an enormous deal for a franchise that has usually been thought of too massive to fail.
As for Battlefield 6, it’s at the moment the best-selling sport of the yr within the US in line with Circana.
Even with a gross sales drop, although, Black Ops 7 is handily main the European gross sales chart. Name of Obligation is a franchise that instructions tens of millions of gamers, in any case, even when it isn’t at its strongest.
2nd place is one thing of a shock: Anno 117: Pax Romana, from Ubisoft. It’s superior to see a method sport doing so effectively.
