Activision has been proving its unmatched presence among its rivals, for years now, with the celebrated franchise in Call of Duty. Nearly all the games in the action series have succeeded in becoming top sellers so far. And 2022’s Modern Warfare II continues that tradition, yet again.
While surprising everyone who predicted otherwise, Call of Duty Modern Warfare II has officially ended this year as top selling game in the United States. In doing so, it overtook 2022’s Game of the Year Elden Ring that literally ruled the internet as well as The Game Awards in which the fantasy RPG won prestigious honors. However, all of that couldn’t push it far enough to defeat Activision’s latest offering.

As per their projections, Modern Warfare II didn’t have any chance to claim the first place. Such speculations were made a few months before the latest Call of Duty’s October release.
