										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Call-of-Duty-Black-Ops-4.jpg"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-353314" src="https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Call-of-Duty-Black-Ops-4.jpg" alt="Call of Duty Black Ops 4" width="620" height="359" srcset="https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Call-of-Duty-Black-Ops-4.jpg 740w, https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Call-of-Duty-Black-Ops-4-300x174.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px" /></a></p>
<p>Much has been made of the hype behind the <em>Call of Duty</em> series, especially with <a href="https://gamingbolt.com/call-of-duty-black-ops-4-blackout-betas-positive-reception-has-increased-activisions-stock-value" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Call of Duty: Black Ops 4</em></a>, given the number of new things it brings to the table. In fact, it is apparently the most anticipated game of the holiday 2018 season, <a href="https://www.nielsen.com/us/en/insights/news/2018/holiday-2018-the-most-anticipated-video-games.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to Nielsen</a>.</p>
<p>In a survey by Nielsen Game Rank (where data was collected from 6,000 participants), <em>Call of Duty: Black Ops 4</em> was on top in the multiplatform category. <a href="https://gamingbolt.com/red-dead-redemption-2-trailer-features-first-person-gameplay-dead-eye-and-more" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Red Dead Redemption 2</em></a> was next, followed by <a href="https://gamingbolt.com/battlefield-5-tides-of-war-roadmap-will-be-shared-ahead-of-launch-dice-confirms" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Battlefield 5</em></a>, and <a href="https://gamingbolt.com/fallout-76-stress-test-goes-live-this-weekend-for-xbox-insiders" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Fallout 76</em></a>. <em>Assassin&#8217;s Creed Odyssey</em> ranked fifth on the list, which is interesting. After all, Ubisoft&#8217;s open world RPG <a href="https://gamingbolt.com/assassins-creed-odyssey-launch-sales-set-series-record-for-current-generation" target="_blank" rel="noopener">set a new record</a> in launch week sales for the series this generation.</p>
<p>As for platform exclusives, <a href="https://gamingbolt.com/spider-man-ps4-sells-3-3-million-units-in-three-days" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Spider-Man</em></a> for PS4 and <a href="https://gamingbolt.com/forza-horizon-4-had-2-million-players-in-its-first-week" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Forza Horizon 4</em></a> on Xbox One topped the lists for their respective platforms. Meanwhile, <em><a href="https://gamingbolt.com/final-fantasy-7-remake-super-smash-bros-ultimate-and-kingdom-hearts-3-lead-famitsu-charts" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Super Smash Bros. Ultimate</a>, <a href="https://gamingbolt.com/super-mario-party-and-nintendo-switch-top-charts-in-japan-in-new-media-create-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Super Mario Party</a>,</em> and <a href="https://gamingbolt.com/pokemon-lets-go-pikachu-lets-go-eevee-wont-require-motion-controls" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Pokemon: Let&#8217;s Go, Pikachu! </em>and<em> Let&#8217;s Go, Eevee!</em></a> also had fairly high scores in the Switch category.</p>
<p>Keep in mind that Nielsen&#8217;s ranking are based on “higher levels of anticipation across the broader body of gamers overall.&#8221; Check out the full infographic below for more titles.</p>
