Call Of Duty Modern Warfare III UK Sales Are Down 38% Over Last Year’s Game For Its First 3 Weeks On Sale

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III sales in the UK saw a significant drop over last year’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II, with the game moving 38% fewer copies during its first three weeks of availability.

Despite the drop in sales, Modern Warfare III still managed to top November software charts, fending off competition from EA Sports FC 24 in the process. In the grander scheme of things, November saw more than 4.55 million games sold in the UK, which represented a year-on-year dip of 3%.

Call of Duty Modern Warfare III has attracted a lot of criticism from fans and reviewers alike, chiefly due to its underwhelming campaign, which clocks in at only a few hours. Furthermore, many of the multiplayer maps have been recycled from previous games, and yet the game is still being sold at a premium price.

Last week at The Game Awards 2023, Christopher Judge, the voice actor behind God of War’s Kratos, even made a joke about his speech last year before longer than MW3’s campaign. This didn’t sit well with Call of Duty developers past and present, though.

Despite all the negativity surrounding the game however, Sledgehammer Games’ first-person shooter has set player engagement records for the rebooted Modern Warfare trilogy.
