Modern Warfare 3 sales begin to lag, fall behind Black Ops
Modern Warfare 3 sold over 6.5 million units within 24 hours of its launch, while Black Ops sold approximately 5.6 million units on launch day.
Webush Securities analyst Michael Pachter states that the title’s poor performance in March could indicate that gamers are becoming more dependent upon new release and less inclined to purchase games post-launch.
Analysts at Piper Jaffray state that the numbers indicate a significant change in the buying habits of the casual market. It is their belief that less players are purchasing games at retail, and that more are using their consoles primarily for video streaming and other forms of media consumption.
Software sales have been down across the board, as seen in sales figures for both February and March.

More people buy the game at launch = less people to but it later on.
i don't know why its a big deal, they make millions of dollars and expect more. just accept the fact your game isn't so amazing to break records throughout a whole year!

I can't honestly say MW3 is "Bad" but what I can say is that when MW3 came out I was on a road trip and went past like 3 or 4 Gamestops and there were like hundreds of people outside. At first I said "Hmm, I wonder is MW3 is any good" I bought it and still play it to this day. Now Black ops there was still a lot of people outside of Gamestop BUT in my own opinion Black ops was by far the worst Call of Duty I ever played. Campaign was AMAZING just like MW3, but the Multiplayer was just horrible.

ANG3L_CHR1SPOLYSICSRealLosoremiallMoo_Ima_Fat_Cow Hmm.. hopefully they dont make a MW4..cant imagine how bad Black Ops 2 will be..
Right my nigg@. MW3 Sucked ****. MW2 and COD4 were the best. Treyarch just needs to grow some balls and man the **** up and admit black ops is a waste of **** time and just make zombie games.
Shut the fock up **** black ops was a great game, better than shitty MW3 with these new stupid features that reward shitty player just for being shitty at a game
They both suck. COD 4 and MW2 will be the only 2 games. The only thing that Treyarch ever had success in was Zombies. That was the only reason I bought the game.
TELL EM POLYSICS! Speak the truth!
My god. @Fat Cow, why are you even talking? Mw3 is still the most played game and just because your wanna-be black assss says it sucks, doens't mean it does, You sir suck at it, Black Ops, I disliked but that does not mean it's a bad game. Please hop off.
