Video game publisher Activision says that Call of Duty: Ghosts is already the best-selling video game launched for the next generation of consoles on the North American market.

Eric Hirshberg, the chief executive officer of Activision Publishing, is quoted by VG247 as saying that, "Call of Duty: Ghosts is the No. 1 best-selling game on PS4 in North America at Best Buy, GameStop, Target and Walmart, and also the No. 1 pre-ordered Xbox One title in North America at those retailers for launch."

The executive adds that his team is eager to see the title launch on the Xbox One on Friday and plans to mark the event in the coming week with special events, including the first Clan War.

Call of Duty: Ghosts can be played on the PlayStation 4, the Wii U, the PC and current gen consoles at the moment.
