I believe most CoD sold more than 30 million.
The question is how it is in a list of best selling CoD? If it is in the lower end of the list then yes... it is bad.

The source is not indicated on the statista site, so I don't know if it's based on vgchartz or something else.

For example blackops and mw3 on vgchartz are 30.00 million
here it's 30.99 and 30.97

And blackops 2 on vgchartz is 31 million
here it's 29.59

So a single CoD release sells less than one entry of a game like Spider-man, GoW and Uncharterd, TLoU, etc, on just PlayStation. So much for that narrative that exclusive don't matter.

I have my doubts about these data or they are outdated…

MW 2019 sold over 30 million in less than a year… it should be way higher than that today.
