Analyst: Call of Duty's withdrawal from last-gen consoles means it's selling into the smallest install base since 2017
An analyst report indicates that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4's move to current-gen consoles and the Nintendo Switch will result in the smallest install base since 2017, due to the exclusion of PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Rising hardware prices are also expected to limit the audience for new consoles, despite the franchise's historical multi-generational support.
