Call of Duty: WWII PC surpassed $500 million in sell-through 1st three days
If you are still wondering as to why each and every year a new Call of Duty is released, well the press release explains it all really. Call of Duty: WWII has surpassed more than $500 million in sell-through worldwide in its first three days of release.
On PlayStation4, Call of Duty: WWII sets a record as the best-selling digital full game by units sold on its first day of availability. Overall unit sales at launch doubled year-over-year globally.
The gripping, personal narrative, boots-on-the-ground multiplayer and terrifying Nazi Zombies mode attracted players worldwide resulting in the highest total connected users on current generation consoles and PC in Call of Duty history. "We challenged our players to get their squads back together and they answered the call, with the highest number of players we've ever seen on current-gen consoles and PC," said Eric Hirshberg, CEO of Activision.
"Call of Duty: WWII returns the franchise to its roots and the results are incredible, selling twice as many units in its opening weekend as last year, and setting the day one record for full-game downloads on PlayStation 4. Our $500 million opening weekend was not only bigger than Thor: Ragnarok's, it was bigger than the opening weekends of both Thor and Wonder Woman combined. And we're committed to supporting the community with continuous improvements and new content."
Figures include Call of Duty: WWII retail and digital sell-through, and reported movie sales, each for the opening three days following initial launch, according to publicly available data, retail customer sell-through information and internal Activision estimates. Digital downloads of Call of Duty: WWII is based on unit sell-through on the first day of availability.
Call of Duty: WWII is rated M for Mature (Blood and Gore, Intense Violence, Strong Language) and is now available for PlayStation4, Xbox One X and Xbox One. For PC fans, the game is also now available on Steam.

Am I reading it wrong or is this about either PS4 or a combination of all consoles? Either way the numbers seem pretty normal for that franchise but if it is in fact PC then I call bullshit.

Base game, DLC, also released on Windows store, packs, and that does not mean everyone that purchased the game as even signed on to play it yet. Peak at least is about 20k or so.
Amazing considering there is only 6000 people online playing in steam. Could this be fake news ?

It peaked at 55k so far, it will only increase. 46k in multiplayer and 9k in singleplayer. It's clearly doing much better than anything after BO2 has done so far. 500m seems to be for all plats, not PC.

Yes it is fake news from Guru3D actually, because $500 million is across all platforms where as Guru3D article makes it look like it's from PC only sales.

I would find $500 million to be an over-estimation when accounting for all platforms even if the game were released for 2 weeks. But $500 million for just PC in 3 days? There's no way that could be right. Assuming each copy of the game was sold for $60, that would be 8.3 million people who got it. CoD4, which was one of the most popular of its series, sold 15.7 million copies across all platforms throughout its existence (so that also includes times the game was on sale). Modern Warfare 3, to my knowledge, is the most successful game of the franchise, and sold 26 million copies. The franchise started losing popularity pretty quickly after that, and I personally haven't noticed much hype around this game, so for PC alone to be this successful in such a short amount of time sounds really suspicious, even if it accounts for in-game sales.

You should really watch your accusations there...Even more so when you're saying this with no backup.

That is just for MP though, I could be wrong but steam charts will only show MP WWII

they answered the call, with the highest number of players we've ever seen on current-gen consoles and PC," said Eric Hirshberg, CEO of Activision.
