CoD: Ghosts the 'most played' multiplayer game on Xbox One & PS4

4.6
Call of Duty: Ghosts is the most-played online multiplayer game on Xbox One globally.

So reported Activision in an announcement on Tuesday, citing Microsoft as the source of its metrics. The firm also claimed the title is the "most played PS4 game" in North America, again citing platform holder Sony.

Activision recently said that Call of Duty: Ghosts was the best-selling PS4 game "in retail sales" according specifically to sales at retail chains Best Buy, GameStop, Target and Walmart.

The new announcement on Tuesday made identical claims regarding the Xbox One version at those same specific retailers.

Once again, the firm held off releasing specific sales figures for the title.

"Around the globe, Call of Duty: Ghosts is leading the next generation. It's the #1 selling title at key retailers and it's also the most played game on Xbox One and PS4 globally," said Activision CEO Eric Hirshberg.

"As we've said before, we've got the best community of fans in the world, and we're thrilled they're coming with us to the next generation."

The company said earlier this month that retailers spent over $1 billion worldwide to secure Call of Duty: Ghosts stock for launch day. While Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick said it was "too early to assess" sell-through to consumers, he suggested the game's release came at a time "when the franchise has never been more popular".

I would of though Dead Rising 3 was more popular than this, or BF4.

This was probably expected considering the fact that there aren't many games out for Xbox One and Call of Duty is still very popular.

Magi really i was hoping it was going to be battlefield 4. o-o


Why would you hope that?
BF4 multiplayer is more like BF3 than MW3 was like MW2.

Yeah this doesn't surprise me at all, if you go to someones house and they have an Xbox then they are more than likely going to have any type of Call of Duty these days.

Wow, does not surprise me at all

TywinPosted:

That is crazy.
Although, I was expecting it because of how popular COD has gotten in the last 3 years.

This isn't a suprise to me. Of course its going to be the most played practically coincided with the release not to mention COD could make a game made with 5 pixels and it would still sell
