No matter how you spin it, Call of Duty: Ghosts is objectively the worst game in the series since the very rushed, rather broken Call of Duty 3. Core gamers don’t like it very much, and neither do those who play the game competitively. And yet, it’s still the best selling game at the moment.
According to the NPD’s sales data for physical retail sales, Call of Duty: Ghosts is still right at the top, besting NBA2K and Battlefield 4. Interestingly, it seems that Microsoft’s platforms really are the favoured ones for the shooter, with the game selling most on the Xbox 360, then PS3, and then the Xbox One. NBA and battlefield, strangely, are selling better on the new consoles than the old ones – odd considering the install bases for the PS3 and Xbox 360.
Interesting to note that physical PC sales come stone last on every game available for the platform. I think that has more to do with Steam taking over PC game sales than any sort of decline. the only platform exclusive to make it the top 10 is Minecraft, which isn’t really very exclusive at all
Here’s the list of top selling games in the US for January.
- Call of Duty: Ghosts (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, Wii U, PC)
- NBA 2K14 (PS4, 360, Xbox One, PS3, PC)
- Battlefield 4 (PS4, Xbox One, 360, PS3, PC)
- Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag (360, PS4, Xbox One, PS3, Wii U, PC)
- Grand Theft Auto V (360, PS3)
- Madden NFL 25 (PS4, Xbox One, 360, PS3)
- Minecraft (360)
- FIFA 14 (PS4, Xbox One, PS3, 360, Vita)
- Lego Marvel Super Heroes (360, Xbox One, PS3, PS4, 3DS, Wii U, Vita, PC)
- Tomb Raider (PS4, Xbox One, 360, PS3)

Why the hell do people love COD so damn much. Then again this is from USA the land filled with all strange and werid things. Odd thing to check out for those who like conspiracies, any one seen all the freaky stuff in Denver airport, that place has secrets all right.

The MP is still very competitive and fun. Only reason I dont play Ghosts is because it is badly optimized and lags on my pc, I also struggle to find local matches. So I decided to uninstall it. Rather play Loadout!!

Hehe yeah it’s quite epic! But the guys are getting better, they are starting to realise you need to play it like Quake and not like CoD or BF.

True, I’ve even started using different weapon & accessory configs depending on what game type I’m playing heh. I love it when there’s a bit of strategy in the mix.

I think the Single Player part of Ghost was excellent (played on Xbox 360) because of all the variety that you had to do in there.. The only thing I complained about was the sound.. it was TERRIBLE
TiMsTeR1033
February 14, 2014 at 15:11
Did the guns sound fake?
DrKiller
February 14, 2014 at 15:13
It sounded like BB guns.. I had to turn my sound of for the explosions too, sounded like a beetle car trying to dice 😉
TiMsTeR1033
February 14, 2014 at 15:14
hahaha sure it wasn’t your sound?
DrKiller
February 14, 2014 at 15:15
I played BF4 afterwards to confirm, my sound is just fine, very fine 😉
TiMsTeR1033
February 14, 2014 at 15:16
Well then obviously people in America like the sound of old beetles backfiring.
DrKiller
February 14, 2014 at 15:16
Or they just test the game on TV Speakers, not noticing what they are doing wrong 😀 hehe
TiMsTeR1033
February 14, 2014 at 15:17
but console gamers can have 7.1 surround sound
DrKiller
February 14, 2014 at 15:19
Isn’t it just 5.1? Otherwise I’ll need to upgrade and get 2 extra speakers 😉
TiMsTeR1033
February 14, 2014 at 15:20
I dunno numbers confuse me, 1 + 1 is 11 YAY!

February 14, 2014 at 15:25
Its starting to make sense why you didn’t notice the sound problems 😉
