The Call of Duty franchise is one of the bestselling franchises for the Xbox system. But maybe someone in the design department had a tough time understanding this fact. As the latest installment in Activision’s world-famous action FPS series is making the rounds on the internet, for calling out their biggest competitor. 

The Canadian customers witnessed an interesting error on the back-of-the-box text of the Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 hard copies. The packaging of the physical copies had a bold claim on the back that called out the arch-nemesis of the Xbox console, PlayStation.  

A printing error calls out PlayStation on the MW2 physical copies

In Canada, consumer products must display text in both English and French. So the hard copies for the Xbox version of the new Call of Duty MW2 had text in both languages. The English part was nothing special, as it had the standard content like any other packaging, but the French text was interesting, to say the least.

Activision boldly claims to be the “best-selling franchise” on the physical copies of the MW2 games. But the next part of the text depends on the format of the copy. If the copy is for the Xbox, then it will have “best-selling franchise on Xbox” and vice versa for the PlayStation. 

However, in Canada, Activision has made a blunder in translating this text into French for the packaging, causing a massive blunder. The English text read as correctly as it claimed to be the best-selling franchise on Xbox but the French read as “the best-selling franchise on PlayStation” (Translated). 

The Internet exploded as the picture of the blunder circulates around. Reddit user u/wheresmyfuckinjuul posted a shot of the text on the r/XboxSeriesX subreddit. The comments section of the post was hilarious to read.  

Will Call of Duty become an Xbox exclusive in the future? 

Call of Duty is currently going through an acquisition proposal by Microsoft as the company has shown interest in acquiring the game studios of Activision and Blizzard. But the proposal is being scrutinized by regulators all around the world.  

Sony has also criticized the deal, as it said to the press that Microsoft’s proposal is “inadequate on many levels.” But Microsoft has repeated many times that even if this proposal goes through, the Call of Duty series will still be available on the PlayStation consoles.
