Ever since the game was revealed, there were rumblings about how well Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare was going to do. Even packaging it with a remastered copy of Modern Warfare, which originally picked interest way up, turned out to be a bust when it was discovered that the disc copies wouldn’t play the remastered game without the Infinite Warfare disc – stopping gamers from buying the bundle for just the remaster.

Release brought more ridiculousness, with Microsoft refunding one PC player because he was one of only TWO players online looking for a match (because cross-platform play hadn’t been allowed by Activision). Now stats are coming out showing that the game’s sales are down around 50% compared to last year’s Black Ops 3 sales. Ouch.

The information comes via NPD sell-through data sourced by two Wall Street analysts. Share sin Activision Blizzard have recently dropped around 20% since it peaked in mid-October this year, and COD sale worries that were around even before its release are likely to be a part of that. The figures are very close to the physical Gfk Chart that was released in November showing that first week sales were down 48%. At the time people pointed out that it didn’t include digital sales, which count for a lot of sales nowadays and also that the news about the second game not working without the disc could have had an effect on sales too – however now it seems that the figures were very accurate.

“Infinite Warfare units came in 17% shy of our expectations, down close to 50% year-on-year,” Cowen analyst Doug Creutz wrote. Elsewhere, another Wall Street source told CNBC that sales were actually down 51% year-on-year.
