The new Modern Warfare III wasn’t a hit online with critics or fans, but it is still selling like hotcakes
New data reveals that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III is already the second-best selling video game of 2023, despite awful reviews, a low Metacritic score, and complaints that its campaign was too short.
On December 13, Mat Piscatella—video game industry analyst and executive director at Circana (formerly NPD)—tweeted some interesting stats about video game hardware and software sales in 2023. Included in the stats was the reveal of the top-selling video games as of November 25, 2023. And even though the new MWIII was only available to purchase for two weeks in the currently provided data, it still shot all the way up the bestsellers list, landing right behind Hogwarts Legacy. As you’d expect, it was the top-selling game in November.
