[MP1ST]Report – PC, Wii and Battlefield 3 Contributed to Weak Modern Warfare 3 Sales

Quote:
Modern Warfare 3 sold in the month of March less than half of Black Ops’ sales in the same month last year according to a recent report. This puts Modern Warfare 3′s lifetime sales at a 4.2% disadvantage compared to Black Ops’ sales up to March last year (from November 2010 to March 2011). However, those numbers didn’t paint the complete picture.

I cant really say im surprised as to the pc and wii being weak as to how they were treated in the last few games.

They were only down 4.2% from their last released game? That's not much of a hit considering AAA title BF3 has been in competition as well. (If I'm reading this right)

When they basically release the exact same game 3 years in a row, it shouldn't be a surprise that sales decline.

lol, so they finally blame BF3 for it. Well MW3 game sucks, period. I've lost respect to this developer/director.
