Activision put together sales data from retailers such as Best Buy in the US and chart-track data in the UK, our sister site GameSpot reports, as well as online multiplayer logs for both Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
The game was at the centre of a row over the relative power of the two new games machines when it emerged that while the PS4 was outputting 1080p graphics, the Xbox One was restricted to 720p, in order to ensure it ran smoothly at 60 frames per second. Reviewers later noted some frame-rate drops on Sony's machine, perhaps indicating it too should have been restricted.
The gung-ho shooter series is famous for its rabid fan base, so it's no surprise to see it topping charts. Ghosts introduces a playable military dog called Riley to its single-player campaign, adding some bite to its fantastical over-the-top action set pieces.
What are you playing on your Xbox One? What do you think of the console's visual performance? Is it a manshooter's best friend, or play like a dog? Throw us a bone in the comments, or on our well-behaved Facebook wall.
