Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 was PlayStation Store’s top download of 2015

PlayStation is officially the home of Call of Duty

Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 was the top downloaded game on the PlayStation Store for PS4 in 2015, Sony announced today.

I can't really say I'm surprised, given that Activision's latest shooter was the most popular game for both November and December, and the best-selling game of 2015. Black Ops 3, which was the biggest entertainment launch of 2015, also set a record on PlayStation 4 as the best-selling digital full game by units sold in its first day of avialability in PS4 history. Sony even had a Black Ops 3 PS4 bundle, so the support was clearly there.

Black Ops 3 was also the best-selling game on the PlayStation Store in November; although, it dropped to second, behind Star Wars Battlefront, in December. 

In the end, though, it matters little as the PlayStation Store's year-long sales back up Sony's initial claim that "PlayStation is the new home of Call of Duty."

Well, except for the fact that Black Ops 3 sold better on Xbox One in both November and December.
