Infinite Warfare Only Sold 1.8 Million Copies Its First Week in the US

4.6
We knew that sales of Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare were down compared to previous years; however, we now know just how much they are down by. Not long after its release, launch week sales of Infinite Warfare were said to be down by nearly 50% on Black Ops III.

According to VGChartz, Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare only managed to sell 1.8 million copies on PS4, Xbox One, and PC during its launch week in the US. These figures only account for physical copies, although digital copies aren’t expected to make much difference to the overall numbers. Call of Duty: Black Ops III for comparison, which launched last year, sold over 3 million copies during its first week.

The sales of Infinite Warfare make for extremely disappointing reading for Activision when you compare them to sales of Modern Warfare 2 and Modern Warfare 3 which were released during the peak of Call of Duty’s popularity. Both Modern Warfare 2 and Modern Warfare 3 sold around 10 million copies each during their launch weeks worldwide. It looks unlikely that when worldwide sales of Infinite Warfare are included that it will come anywhere close to those figures, with the US being one of the biggest markets for Call of Duty.

When it comes to how many copies of Infinite Warfare were sold on each platform, PS4 led the way with 830,989 copies with Xbox One not far behind with 781,551. Physical PC sales of Infinite Warfare for Steam were just a little over 200,000.

The inclusion of Modern Warfare Remastered was thought to have helped push sales of Infinite Warfare, although it doesn’t like this was the case judging by the sales figures. We don’t yet know how many of those sales mentioned above are for the standard edition of the game or for the Legacy Edition which included Modern Warfare Remastered.

What they need to do:
- Make WaW 2 not BO4
- Make MW4 not IW 2

Just make two games (not three) and make a new release every 2 years instead of every year.

Since sales are low I'm hoping they're release MWR seperatly then I'll buy it :)

I doubt they would have even reached 1 million copies sold if MWR wasn't included, I think they need to go through the most popular cods like MW2, WaW and Black Ops 1 and remaster a new one every year to get numbers back up.
