In boxed retail sales, ड्यूटी के कॉल: अनंत वारफेयर wasn’t so infinite compared to last year’s outing from Treyarch, ड्यूटी के कॉल: काले ऑप्स 3. The game’s sales fell by 48.4% when it came to boxed retail copies compared to काले ऑप्स 3.
GamesIndustry.biz is reporting that despite the massive dip in retail sales, the game’s actual revenue didn’t get sliced half as much as the actual sell-through of units. According to the article, कॉल ऑफ़ ड्यूटी: अनंत वारफेयरकी revenue only dropped by 25% compared to काले ऑप्स 3. You’re probably scratching your head how a game can almost sell less than half of what the previous game did but still make just a quarter less of the revenue.
Well, the article explains that the hike up in price for the deluxe edition that comes with ड्यूटी के कॉल: आधुनिक युद्ध पुनःनिपुण helped compensate. So despite selling less, the higher price with the highly desired आधुनिक युद्ध पुनःनिपुण helped make up for it.
But despite the shortcomings, GI.biz captured a quote from Activision who was quick to gloat, saying…
“According to GFK, Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare is the No.1 shooter/action game week one launch of 2016 in the UK. Our fans are loving the great campaign, deep multiplayer and ’80s inspired zombies, not to mention the incredible bonus content of Modern Warfare Remastered. We look forward to a great holiday season and beyond”
यह सच है कि ड्यूटी के कॉल: अनंत वारफेयर was number one during its first week on the market. The GFK top 10 charts shows that it’s competing neck to neck with युद्धक्षेत्र 1.
Further down the chart is Titanfall 2, but the interesting thing about it is that I get this sinking feeling as if Titanfall 2 might have a long tail-end if the word of mouth continues to stay as positive as it has been. Most people agree that between Titanfall 2 और अनंत वारफेयर the former has a far more fun and entertaining campaign. And between अनंत वारफेयर और युद्धक्षेत्र 1, there’s definitely a lot more variety and a very interesting take on the depiction of war.
जबकि ड्यूटी के कॉल has stormed onto the market with front-loaded prowess, I wonder how well they’ll be able to maintain sales pace beyond the first quarter?
