The most exciting time in this roller-coaster of a year has finally arrived. The PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S consoles will be out soon. Along with these next-gen consoles, next-gen games will also make their way to different platforms. Interestingly, the November launch line-up is going to be highly competitive as 3 different AAA titles are releasing. CDPR’s Cyberpunk 2077, Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, and Activision’s Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War are all set to battle it out for the top spot. Although, a certain industry analyst believes that Cold War will emerge victorious here.

Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War to be the best-selling game in the USA

According to NPD analyst Mat Piscatella, Black Ops Cold War will be the best-selling franchise in the US. He writes, “…Call of Duty will be the U.S. market’s best-selling gaming franchise for the 12th consecutive year.”

This is quite a bold statement considering Cyberpunk 2077 has already won the “Best RPG Game of the Year” award at Gamescom 2020. Additionally, CoD is also a different genre than Assassin’s Creed Valhalla and CP 2077. This makes the prediction a little far-fetched.

Although, he focuses on the point that BO CW will be the best-selling game in the US market. If he has only considered one market, his prediction might just come true. Additionally, the Call of Duty franchise has been one of the most successful ones in the US for years, which makes it possible that it will beat out its competition.

Although considering the global market, Cyberpunk 2077 would definitely be the favorite. The hype around the game is unreal, and it is already among the top 5 best-selling games on Steam. Moreover, it took almost 8 years for CDPR to develop the game and after seeing the Night City Wire episodes, there is no doubt that the game will be sensational.

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla does promise a great experience too, but comparing it to CP 2077 would be a little difficult. Both the games are RPGs but have very different mechanics, stories, and gameplay.

Cyberpunk 2077 releases on November 19, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla releases on November 10, and Black Ops Cold War Releases on November 13. The month of November is going to be exciting for gaming fans.
