Ever since its release date, Call of Duty still manages to remain as one of the biggest franchises which have already sold hundreds and millions of copies over the decades.

All this being said it was obvious for the title to set record sales.
The Modern Wayfare 3 had sold something over 30000000 copies by the month of February of this year and with Modern Wayfare 2 lagging not much far behind with having sold 25000000. He first one in the series of which this 2019 release is a reboot has sold more than 17000000 copies.
Additionally, what is adding to the popularity of the title is the cross-platform support which allows the players to play with their friends on other consoles that directly boost the sales as no one ever feels the need to avoid a title out of not having the same system as of their friends. Moreover, the fact that it is flowing on most of the main platforms significantly adds to its popularity.
Therefore the news of Modern Wayfare achieving the top rank c in the UK came as no big surprise. Given the fact about how the title had performed in the US for the months of October and November, it can well be concluded that it is certainly going to hold onto its position for the next few months.
