Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, developed by Sledgehammer Games, claimed the top spot on the US sales charts, according to the latest figures from Circana. This achievement is particularly notable as it marks the fifth consecutive November that a title from the Call of Duty franchise has led the charts in the US.
Furthermore, industry analyst Mat Piscatella has highlighted that Modern Warfare 3 is not just a monthly winner; it’s also the second highest-grossing game for the year, which is quite an accomplishment. The presence of Call of Duty is further reinforced with Call of Duty HQ, a hub for the franchise’s community and content, which snagged the second position in terms of monthly active users across PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S platforms. This is a logical outcome considering the hub’s role as an essential launchpad for Modern Warfare 3.
The juggernaut that is Hogwarts Legacy refuses to be overshadowed, maintaining its lead as the best-selling game year-to-date, bolstered by the recent release for Nintendo Switch, which pushed it to the third spot in dollar sales for November. The Switch version’s success also earned it the title of the second most purchased game on the console for the month.
