Sony Interactive Entertainment revealed that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II broke a record and became the biggest launch of the franchise on PlayStation Store, the Japanese company’s digital store.
Sony and Microsoft have publicly feuded over the series, with the Japanese company fearful of losing the Call of Duty franchise to its biggest rival with its acquisition of Activision Blizzard.
Without bringing numbers, PlayStation congratulated Activision and Infinity Ward on the launch of Call of Duty Modern Warfare II becoming the biggest in the franchise on its digital store.
The Japanese company took into account the numbers in the pre-sale, early access and launch phase. According to her, the game managed to outperform its predecessor, the 2019 Modern Warfare remake.
Congratulations to @InfinityWard and @Activision on the biggest PlayStation Store launch EVER for a Call of Duty game (including preorders and day one sales).
