GTA V because it will be around for like 4/5 years before a new one and COD ghosts looks bad and will only really sell for around a year


You wanna bet?


Sure why not

OK 

If GTA V sells more then CoD: Ghosts by the end of the yearyou gain signature control for 1 month and choose my Avatar. If Call of Duty sells more I get all of that

GTA needs two or three years to sell close to what CoD sells in one year.

You have your answer.


so your saying COD will outsell GTA... u wanna bet.

Easily... yeah... any bet for you be happy.

CoD is a bigger franchise than GTA.

Give me a couple days to think of one.

Call of Duty is invincible it will sell much more then GTA this is a no brainer


That's why no COD sold as much as Vice city...


Grand Theft Auto: Vice City (PS2): 16.15m

Call of Duty: Black Ops II (X360 + PS3): 22.17m

The playerbase for this gen is split between two consoles.

GTA V is the most hyped game of all time

I think GTA is going to show more of a decline. It's an *old* franchise now and curiosity factor of seeing it with PS3/360 graphics is also gone.

GTA's peak was 9-10 years ago. It'll still sell well, but I don't think it'll have the same legs as previous games.

Even CoD is getting up there in age, but I think it still has one or two more yearly refreshes left in the tank before people start going elsewhere.


Exactly! The novelty of driving round a "living, breathing" city has gotten old.

I wish Mafia II was linear because I was bored out of my skull driving from one mission to another.

Both games will be the best selling games of 2013 and no game will be able to come close to it...but the real question is which game will sell more. COD gas had some major competition since 2010 but which none came close to it. Here are sales of big competitiors  when comapred to COD on the 360.

2010:

1 Call of Duty: Black Ops 2010 Shooter Activision 9.09 3.43 0.10 1.31 13.93
2. Halo: Reach 2010 Shooter Microsoft Game Studios 6.70 1.80 0.08 0.84 9.42

2011:

1. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 2011 Shooter Activision 9.25 4.11 0.12 1.43

14.91
2. Battlefield 3 2011 Shooter Electronic Arts 4.09 1.98 0.05 0.66 6.78

2012:

1. Call of Duty: Black Ops II 2012 Shooter Activision 7.39 3.50 0.04 1.17 12.09
2. Halo 4 2012 Shooter Microsoft Game Studios 5.57 1.79 0.04 0.74 8.15

Here is a chart of MW2 vs GTA 4 (360 versions)

1. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 2009 Shooter Activision 8.27 3.39 0.08 1.26 13.01
2. Grand Theft Auto IV 2008 Action Take-Two Interactive 6.22 2.87 0.13 1.00 10.23

But it is important to note that GTA IV came in spring but MW2 came in holiday season with a far bigger install base for the 360 and PS3. This time there both coming in holiday seasons (well sort of). However if we compare the biggest GTA game vs the biggest Cod game...GTA dominates

1. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas 2004 Action Take-Two Interactive 9.43 8.48 0.41 2.49 20.81
2. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 2011 Shooter Activision 9.25 4.11 0.12 1.43 14.91

If the 360 or PS3 version (It looks like the PS3 version has a better chance) of GTA sells anywhere near those numbers than it looks tough for COD to compete especially since Black Ops II looks like it won't outsell MW2, BO or MW3... I expect the same decline for COD ghosts and GTA V only to be bigger than GTA IV at the very least due to the massive increase in install base since 2008.

Are you going to ignore the PS3 version of MW3? You do know half the fanbase is on PS3 right? Where as with San Andreas pretty much most of the same were on the PS2.

People know this, thats why they restrict comparisons between GTA and COD to a single console to make GTA's numbers appear larger. It's dishonest.

MW3 sold just under 28 million on 360 + PS3. Who cares if its across two consoles? That's what this gen has been about.
