Forums - Gaming Discussion - Call of Duty is "hitting the wall", says GTA 5 publisher

I don't think over 3 Million FW is hitting a wall, but it is slowing down a bit.

Don't you mean 10m?

Anyway, maybe it is hitting a wall, but it is falling from 25m sales per installment, I don't think even SA sold that amount! Even if it sells "only" 10m, then it still makes them huge amounts of money, but if it falls to 20m I am not sure it matters so much

Anyway, BLOPS II is quite different in terms of the single player. As for the multiplayer, why change it when it is so popular. All these people on forums keep calling for change, but how stupid to you have to be to radically change something that so so so so so so so so so many people like? The yearly changes are decent, keep things interesting, the core gameplay is always going to be the same and is still good!

You cant improve sales year after year indefinitely. Its got to peak at SOME point.

COD has been gaining sales since 2005. It was a great run. Now its sales can stabilize and remain flat.


You are making the assumption that sales will stabilise and remain the same rather than falling. Why? With most of the series that have tanked, sales have tended to go down so why do you think they will remain the same? I would say they really need to innovate - bring in new devs to come up with new ideas, upgrade the graphics which they can certainly afford to (and would stop some of the criticism), take gameplay or MP in another direction. 

Bros. The Bros wont let it go down



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles. 

 

Im sure the publishers of COD would rather have a $1 billion hit COD game every year than a $1.2 billion GTA hit every 5 years.



Lol MW3 and Black Ops 1 generated well more then 1 billion in sales ^^^

Yeah I think BO2 will decline from MW3, but it already is displaying better legs so sales and it will outsell Black Ops 1 easily...


MW4 is where the series can take a huge fall...
