The Economy is actually the reason to blame. This Call of Duty is actually really good but the economy is not. America is currently under a Ressesion and all business are going down. People that had money and more we're influenced in buying the game was able to buy the game on launch date. I work at a clothing retail store and my Store is barely able to match goals from last year by about 20 % drop. This black friday was the worst for our store in a long time. Taxes for everything has been rising and people can't afford to spend money like before. We've been in a Resession for a while now and any longer we will hit a Great depression. And if we're doing bad i can't imagine Europe because their economy is worse and is falling. Europe has an impact on gaming industry too.
