Call Of Duty Vanguard

If you need any more evidence of how important today's news of Microsoft purchasing Activision Blizzard for $70 billion and what that means for Sony, here it is: Call of Duty: Vanguard was the best-selling game of the year on PlayStation 5, PS4 consoles across the US. Despite a downwards trend in sales, the FPS out of Sledgehammer Games topped the list for the year, and even 2020 title Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War was third. All the revenue Sony generated from those sales could now be lost once the deal is sealed.

Even when the information is whittled down to just the single month of December 2021 — when purchases presumably increase for the Christmas season — Call of Duty: Vanguard was also the best-selling title on PS5, PS4. Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales was the second best seller and Madden NFL 22 retained its position from November 2021 in third.
