Modern Warfare 3 sales begin to lag, fall behind Black Ops
Modern Warfare 3 sold over 6.5 million units within 24 hours of its launch, while Black Ops sold approximately 5.6 million units on launch day.
Webush Securities analyst Michael Pachter states that the title’s poor performance in March could indicate that gamers are becoming more dependent upon new release and less inclined to purchase games post-launch.
Analysts at Piper Jaffray state that the numbers indicate a significant change in the buying habits of the casual market. It is their belief that less players are purchasing games at retail, and that more are using their consoles primarily for video streaming and other forms of media consumption.
Software sales have been down across the board, as seen in sales figures for both February and March.

To everyone that is complaining about MW3:
Black ops was the first Call of Duty with smaller maps than the Older CoDs, that's why it sucks
Infinity Ward Had to follow the shitty Treyarch style of maps to make MW3 due to the Black Ops Fans. Black Ops Uses the Infinit Ward 3.0 Engine when MW2 uses Infinity Ward 4.0 (And the game is older)
Treyarch Just don't give a f*ck about MW2 Fans and since black ops came out, every CoD sucks and will suck, thanks to Treyarch

Mw3 sucks!! I play it because its the newest one and I also play blackops still which was a much better game. You can still go on blackops and find around the same amount of players online on it as mw3. That has to tell you something, Mw3/infinity ward suck

RealLosoremiallMoo_Ima_Fat_Cow Hmm.. hopefully they dont make a MW4..cant imagine how bad Black Ops 2 will be..
Right my nigg@. MW3 Sucked ****. MW2 and COD4 were the best. Treyarch just needs to grow some balls and man the **** up and admit black ops is a waste of **** time and just make zombie games.
Shut the fock up **** black ops was a great game, better than shitty MW3 with these new stupid features that reward shitty player just for being shitty at a game
They both suck. COD 4 and MW2 will be the only 2 games. The only thing that Treyarch ever had success in was Zombies. That was the only reason I bought the game.

pooky177 IMO, I think anyone who liked MW2 is the reason people rage on any Call of Duty. Those are the people who sit in corners, or have a 2 sensitivity, but still kill people. Not because of skill, but because MW2, and MW3 decided to cater to the bad players to make it even, which is not what COD was based on in COD4 or WaW (and now BO) days. COD needs to stop giving free handouts to the terrible players and make it more of a "survival of the fittest" game. If you're bad, then so be it.you are speaking the truth
