Neither Activision nor Treyarch has celebrated Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 sales since its launch, and despite debuting at the top of the European sales charts, there’s a massive drop in results. According to GSD, physical and digital launch week sales are 63 percent lower than those of Battlefield 6.
