Call Of Duty Black Ops 4 Scores $500 Million In Its First Days On The Market

Call of Duty Black Ops 4 raised $500 million in its first three days on sale. A colossal figure that couldn’t be reached by many sagas and gaming companies and that is entirely worthy in a year like this. The very idea that Call of Duty Black Ops 4 sold almost nine million copies over the first weekend is a resounding success. However, it is still, somehow, below the profits made by other CoD title in their early days after launch.

It seems difficult for Activision not to be happy with this data but analysts talk of a “slow” start to this new CoD installment and, as a result, Activision shares have fallen by as much as 9% in the hours following the announcement. So, are we talking about numbers to celebrate or numbers to worry about? To cut to the chase, we could say that neither one thing nor the other, but considering the context of the launch and the recent history of the franchise, we might witness another hugely successful title, eventually.

Call of Duty Black Ops 4 raised $500 million within its first days on the market

The information provided by Activision specifies that Call of Duty Black Ops 4 revenues equals that of the CoD World War II, the previous delivery in the franchise and one of the best and best-selling of the saga in the long term. But if we look back, we can see how the previous delivery of the Black Ops story-arch, the Call of Duty Black Ops 3 scored $550 million in the same timeframe. Also, Black Ops 2 raised $500 million in its first twenty-four hours on sale.

In the same way, and going back to older CoD titles, Modern Warfare 3 harvested $400 million on its first day (and 775 million after the early five days) and the first Black Ops earned $360 million on its launch day. Call of Duty Black Ops 4 is a bit behind these titles, for the moment, but when taking into account factors such as the chosen release date and its current competition, $500 million raised in its first days is by far outperforming many other games released this year.

Call of Duty Black Ops 4 Sets A New Digital Sales Record

Call of Duty Black Ops 4 is selling very well digitally. In this regard, Activision reported that in a press release that the newly released CoD Black Ops 4 title set a new digital sales record, breaking any of the Activision’s previous records. Thus, Call of Duty Black Ops 4 becomes the best-sold game of the company, breaking the record for the “biggest day one digital release.”

Now, in the second place, there is the Call of Duty WWII, the game published by Activision in 2017. Also, according to the press release, the new Call of Duty Black Ops 4 is selling very well, digitally, on both PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

Additionally, the new installment in the franchise is also available on PC via Battle.net. According to their official statistics, CoD Black Ops 4 is also successful on Windows 10 platforms. As reported by Battle.net, the new Black Ops title sold by about 100 percent higher in its first day, in comparison to the Call of Duty WWII.

Call of Duty Black Ops 4 Sets A New Digital Sales Record, But Not On Physical Copies Sales

On all the platforms on which it is available, CoD Black Ops 4 established new digital sales records, outperforming previous titles published by Activision, including the last year’s Call of Duty WWII. However, apparently, the game scores better digital sales, while the physical copies sales are at their lowest, at the moment.

For example, according to GI.biz, Call of Duty Black Ops 4 physical copies sales during its first days out were down by about 50 percent in comparison to Call of Duty WWII and 59 percent lower when compared to its predecessor, Black Ops III. Also, it scored lower physical sales than CoD 4 Modern Warfare.

However, this new figures shouldn’t be a surprise for us since the online has evolved significantly since the release of Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare or Black Ops 3. Now, almost every game in the world is available digitally, which, in reality, is a much faster and reliable option than physical copies.
