I might be wrong but irrc Black Ops III is the highest selling one.
Not sure how reliable the source, but this has MW3 at #1, BOIII at #5

The positive reception this game has received off just one trailer is insane.
Activision can't afford to fuck this up.

i kinda forgot how big MW3 was at the time. first i was a little surprised by the reception but then was like "oh, yeah"
not really into CoD but usually slip into the hype one way or another. i think i'll allow myself to get suckered again (skipped all since blops3) campaign can't be too shabby at least

Seen this trailer a bunch of times myself, nostalgia is a mother fucker.
Captain Price being back alone would get me to buy this game, but a heavy emphasis on a single player campaign, back to a modern setting, cross-play, AND no season pass? Sign me the fuck up.
However, I can't shake this feeling that Activision is going to find some way to fuck it up somehow.

Still early days. CoD trailers have strong legs. Death Stranding will eventually cap off at a certain point and CoD will leap over it in the coming weeks.
Anecdotal but on most Facebook pages, groups, even the Italian side of the official COD page is always full of people trashing what COD became. Now people are truly excited to be back at the "real war", to a classic franchise, to no more jetpacks and unicorn outfits but the real deal. People have been craving for this, now it's the devs' job to deliver a good game.
Full price Retail sale and then battle type pass with skin purchases will be the business model I would guess. Same as BO4.
Which isn't that bad actually
But what did this do in the first 5 hours and 30 minutes? Sorry kojima, your game is done.
After seeing the trailer, I'm not surprised by those numbers.
Bringing back Price, new engine, cross play and a gorgeous trailer...I'm actually excited for this, quite more than I've been in the past 6 years.

I love me some CoD but I agree wholeheartedly with your second point. Who the fuck cares about Price or "Ghost"? All I remember from Price is that he had a hillarious over-the-top accent and that he is a chainsmoker.
I actually kinda am. I wanted to try the remaster's multiplayer but no one was ever on on PC. I've not played very much CoD multiplayer but I never buy the newest and latest one. I just can't justify the price for a game I won't play a ton. But this...hmmmm....
Yeah, recentlyish played through MWR for the first time, and boy everyone was so forgettable. It feels like people get emotional highs for an admittedly decent campaign, and then sort of project onto the characters more gravitas than they actually had. But I could just be out of touch. I don't know. The characters just seemed unexceptional and really didn't seem to have any time to get developed as characters.
I mean that's nostalgia for you, I skipped out on bo4 which is the first cod I never bought but I haven't been excited for a new game in years, I went from day 1 buys and constant play back before black ops 2 to $20 eBay purchases and never actually even playing them. Yet I find myself wanting this day 1 for multiple reasons, number one amongst them being modern warfare. Cod will be cod, Activision will for sure find a way to make me hate everything about it but they haven't shown it to me yet. With them or our other favorite pub on the internet there's always something.
Yeah it's a pretty fun series overall but Modern Warfare has now built up this mystique surrounding it after all these years that doesn't feel entirely justified. I'd love to be surprised and this blows me away though!
Honestly I have the same opinion as you, but for some reason this trailer kinda got me in a more movie like way that I'm not used to game trailers getting me. Not sure why. I think a lot of game trailers often have a tiny underlying awkwardness to them. Even big budget cinematic games. But this trailer felt very movie like to me, and somehow kinda got me hyped. I hope it's got a lot of story because man I got bored a lot during MW1. It was a fun game, but I couldn't do it in one setting and don't really intend on replaying.
In what sense is it not justified? What would it take to be justified? The game was a commercial and critical success.
In terms of views, CoD is outpacing it, in terms of likes - DS is currently doing better by number and ratio - but don't expect it to hold. Either way, CoD metrics are always very high annually so this is nothing to slouch off at.
The strength of CoD's metrics won't be apparent at this stage anyway. Any tentpole AAA game that is highly appealing with strong mainstream appeal has no real difficulty getting the first 10 million views in terms of metrics.
The measure of metrics for something like CoD is how they get the next 20/30 million views after the first 10 million.
