Call Of Duty: Ghosts Off To Strong Next-Gen Start

Despite its availability on current-generation consoles (or perhaps because of it, thanks to an upgrade program), Call of Duty: Ghosts is off to a great start on Xbox One and PlayStation 4. The title has racked up a number of superlatives since the November 15 launch of the PlayStation 4.

Activision has announced that Call of Duty: Ghosts is the most played Xbox One multiplayer game around the world, the top-selling Xbox One game at retail in North America, the top selling standalone software title in the UK (which excludes FIFA 14 packed into every box), the most played PlayStation 4 game, and the top-selling PS4 game at North American retailers. The retailer list includes, Best Buy, GameStop (Disclosure: Game Informer’s parent company), Target, and Walmart.

Additionally, Activision has provided some details on multiplayer usage. Over 1 billion multiplayer matches have been played across the versions, resulting in 2.2 million prestiges and 3.3 trillion experience points.
