I assume figures were corrected a bit here, but the USA launch of BLOPS2 was 5.5m first week. Ghosts will probably get to 4-4.5m once you include next gen versions first weeks. It's a decline yes, but expected given how much of the consumer dollar GTAV reaped prior to its released. COD, BF4, AC4, FIFA14 are all suffering from GTA's dominance (And also artificually lower due to next gen console launches). I think the tail-end of a console cycle will also see software fall a bit too.
I doubt COD is really dying, it's just a year where circumstances conspire to take some of its marketshare and lower its sales. If PS4 and Xbox One kick into full gear straight from this Xmas then I've no doubt next years COD version will outsell Ghosts and be more in line with BLOPS 2 sales - unless something else which feels more 'truly next gen' comes in and explodies similiar to how MW did all those years ago. Something not atypical of a console launch in all honesty.
