The Division overtakes Call of Duty as Xbox’s most popular game

4.5
Holy heck.


The Division has a lot of accolades, records and milestones under its belt already, but this is one we didn’t expect to see: Ubisoft’s RPG has overtaken Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 as the most popular game on Xbox One.

That’s according to Xbox Live‘s public-facing charts, anyway. You can see a screenshot below.

Just… wow. The latest Call of Duty release doesn’t top the Xbox Live charts all year every year, but, well – it comes pretty damn close to it.

The Division broke an 11 year sales record in the UK and is officially the biggest new game IP ever. It sold more copies in its first 24 hours than any other game in Ubisoft’s history.

It’s got a lot of momentum, but can it maintain it? A pretty solid year one plan seems like a good start, anyway.

Not surprised, its a great game

The developers are killing their own game (COD) The division is a great game that people want. If the Developers listened to the fans of COD when they made the game, the game would last a lot longer.

Call of Duty is slowly dying because the developers are stupid. They kept trying to make the game futuristic and a lot of people disliked it. Personally I would want a game that is more and more realistic rather then being able to jump onto a building and glide across. This isn't iNFAMOUS.

Really not surprising. Not played COD in a long long time.

This is quite surprising to me considering call of duty is a huge franchise.

gtapro151 well maybe if we did not have to fly all over the place in call of duty we would still play it


Agreed. The old ones are best.

I've still not got the division. Debating on buying it and I'm in two minds. Need to watch more game plays I think

Doesn't surprise me, BO3 was a flop and a sack of crap game.

I turned my copy of division back in after 3 days. I love the concept but i REALLY can not get over clips of ammo in peeps in hoodies. Plus the fact doing what Watch Dogs did with graphics at launch. ah well. Good job i guess
