Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is officially out if you haven’t noticed, and frankly, if you didn’t, no one could blame you since this has felt like one of the most muted launches from Activision in years. Muted or not, however, it’s still a new Call of Duty, which means that sales should already be skyrocketing, right? Well, at least right now, that doesn’t seem to be the case. According to the latest weekly GSD Sales Data report from The Game Business, while Black Ops 7 was at the top of the charts for the week of November 10-16, it’s far behind last year’s Black Ops 6 launch numbers, and far behind Battlefield 6’s launch numbers for EU sales. According to GSD Data, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7’s launch week sales in the EU fell short of Battlefield 6’s first week EU launch sales by 63%, and according The Game Business’s estimates, it fell short of last year’s Black Ops 6 first week launch sales by over 50%. So even though it still made it to the top of the sales charts for premium game sales in the EU for its launch week, which means it was able to sell quite a lot of copies, potentially in the millions, by Call of Duty standards, this launch missed the mark. Other notable entries on the chart include Anno 117: Pax Romana, which launched just two days ahead of Black Ops 7, and, according to The Game Business, more than doubled the launch numbers for the last major Anno game, Anno 1800. Football Manager 26 remains in the top-10 list for revenue earned, though it dropped from the copies sold list. While it had an incredibly impressive first week, it seems that the game’s technical issues at launch and the poor word of mouth around that are impacting its sales. And speaking of Battlefield 6, it remains in both the revenue top 10 and copies sold top 10. It’s behind fellow EA title EA Sports FC 26 in both lists, but it is still in the top five. Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is another title that was able to keep its spot in the top 10 for both the revenue earned and copies sold list as it continues to ride the wave of momentum from the release of its third and final DLC, lined up alongside a free trial weekend and major discount to the game on Steam. Per The Game Business, here’s the list of the top 10 games in the EU by copies sold for the week of November 10-16: Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Anno 117: Pax Romana EA Sports FC 26 Battlefield 6 Pokemon Legends Z-A Grand Theft Auto V Hogwarts Legacy Ghost of Yotei Red Dead Redemption 2 Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Per The Game Business, here’s the list of the top 10 games in the EU by revenue for the week of November 10-16: Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Anno 117: Pax Romana EA Sports FC 26 Battlefield 6 Pokemon Legends Z-A Ghost of Yotei Football Manager 26 Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Grand Theft Auto V.
