Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 Is Way Ahead Of Black Ops 7 Already By One Metric

Summary

According to Alinea Analytics analyst Rhys Elliott, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 has already sold nearly 400,000 copies on Steam during its pre-sale period, generating approximately $21 million in revenue. This figure significantly surpasses the performance of last year's Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 at its Steam launch, underscoring the strong anticipation for the Modern Warfare sub-series. While exact numbers for Black Ops 7 were not disclosed, Elliott noted that it lagged behind considerably. The robust pre-sales signal renewed confidence in the Call of Duty franchise, which has faced mixed reception in recent years. For Activision, this suggests a successful PC release could be on the horizon and may influence resource allocation toward the Modern Warfare brand. Additionally, the impressive Steam numbers highlight the enduring importance of PC as a platform for AAA titles, likely pushing Activision to enhance PC-specific features and marketing efforts. This sales momentum not only demonstrates the franchise's lasting appeal but also offers a valuable data point for industry observers gauging player demand and market trends ahead of the game's full launch.
