Overview
- New GSD data show Black Ops 7’s opening-week EU unit sales were 63% lower than Battlefield 6’s debut.
- Launch sales were also more than 50% below last year’s Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, according to The Game Business’ estimates based on GSD.
- Despite the weaker comparisons, Black Ops 7 ranked No. 1 in the EU for the week ending November 16 in both premium-unit sales and revenue.
- The sales tallies do not count subscription downloads, and Black Ops 7 launched on Xbox Game Pass while Battlefield 6 did not.
- Competition and sentiment remain headwinds, with Ampere reporting over 25% of Call of Duty players in September picked up Battlefield 6 in October and user scores for Black Ops 7 trending low.
