Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 beaten by an old PS4 and PS5 exclusive!
Even if you're not the type to want to fuel the console war, even if you don't care about FPS, if you follow even a little bit of video game news, you know Obviously Microsoft bought Activision-Blizzard last year. Following this historic acquisition, the Redmond firm was obviously counting on the next Call of Duty to make the deal profitable. A winning bet since Call of Duty : Black Ops 6 has been breaking popularity scores since its release a few weeks ago. However, against all odds, he's not the one at the top of Microsoft Store sales right now.
Top paid games on the Microsoft Store
Indeed, at the time of writing, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 only occupies second place in the ranking of best-selling games on the Microsoft Store. And the worst part is that the one sitting on the throne is none other than a former Sony exclusive: the famous Death Stranding by Hideo Kojima. The latter had already caused a surprise a few days ago by integrating the catalog of Microsoft's console almost without announcing itself, and everything suggests that it was particularly awaited by Xbox players.
A data to be taken with a pinch of salt?
So of course, before starting to mock Xbox and fueling the console war with scathing remarks, we still need to put things in place. First, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 was already released several weeks ago, while Death Stranding has just arrived on the Microsoft store. But the most important thing to take into account is that this ranking only concerns video game purchases.
In other words, in this category, Death Stranding has a real advantage over Call of Duty: Black Ops since unlike Treyarch's game, that of Kojima Productions is not included in the subscription. Game Pass from Microsoft. This means that while Death Stranding is well and truly ahead of Call of Duty: Black Ops in terms of individual sales, it is currently impossible to know the number of players who subscribed to Game Pass solely to play Call of Duty. Regardless, it remains a victory for Microsoft which adds an excellent game to its catalog, for Sony which recovers part of the sales, and for gamers who can finally enjoy it whatever their favorite console.
