Recently there were several postings online and on Social Media touting how Hogwarts Legacy outsold Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III and how this was a rare instance of a title beating that franchise in yearly sales. In a new Opinion Piece the question of if having a ten-month advantage in the release window and other factors should have been factored in.

The game is now broken and displays “dev error 5433” and won’t start a multiplayer match

Shahmeer from eXputer: "I've always wondered whether the success of Hogwarts Legacy had much to do with nostalgia. The RPG is great but certainly not free of issues."
I still haven’t finished it, mostly due to it not holding my interest after 20 hours. Wouldn’t say it’s a bad game, wouldn’t say it’s amazing I really can’t judge it fully due to not completing it.
Harry Potter is one of the biggest IPs in the world. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out why it sold so much. It’s a great game on top of that, so the math kind of maths here.
Can’t wait for the article on if Zelda or Mario only sold well due to nostalgia.
ngl, it got me in the first half hour
after that, a big let down, mediocre at every step
only fans are praising it
It's still a good game almost time for a 2nd playthrough, the passion they put into it is🔥🔥 crazy how after a couple months or a year folks get to complaining about this n that about certain games smh childish mfs
Activision Blizzard is now charging $80 USD for a 'Godzilla x Kong' crossover weapon for 'Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III'.
Is it activision now or is MS to blame now? MS owns them so it’s no longer what activision wants to do or Bobby kotick
I am just really tired of the greed in gaming industry right now. A company could make 250 million in profit and the following year could make 248 million. Instead of saying we made half a billion in 2 years they say we lost 2 million.
"It's just cosmetic DLC! Don't buy it!" The problem is not that is cosmetic, the problem is that anyone with a functional brain saw the dark path we were heading a mile away. These companies employed outside firms in order to cater to the easily addicted personalities; Their whales. And it worked.
And what happened?
The abuse of cheap DLCs and Microtransactions by these companies Fundamentally changed how they design and develop their games. Now they just make billions selling the absolute worst trash to addicts. And THAT's the problem.
AAA games were supposed to be AAA experiences that have turned into AAA Bull💩 Trap Houses for microtransaction Junkies.
To each their own, but with uBeSawft now pushing for an always Online Single Player Campaign future, don't say we don't know where this path is headed. Cuz we know and we're focked. You've been warned.
Now get the fudge off my lawn hippies!
If anyone thinks mw3 is better than hogworts they don’t like video games, they just like call of duty.
Too much spin. It's an objective acknowledgement of what sold the most in a 12 month period. Nothing more or nothing less.
Hogwarts for me is alright in doses. I liked it but I can play it straight though like a dq11 or ff. It's solid though. It's flat-out out the better game when comparing it to cod. Period. It was refreshing something different. Where as mw3 is DLC
Far as sales. Yes it is still damn impressive seeing as cod is the best selling game every year releasing at Christmas. So it's window is the Sam every year. Idc how long the game was on the market l, neither should you, and neither do the devs. It's impressive to beat it.
Sounds like whoever wrote this is a tab bit butthurt about it though. Just let it be.
Hogwarts Legacy and COD3 are, all together, two very different types of games. Why would it matter to compare the two?
I personally hated hogwarts got boring quick
