Looking at this weeks pre-oders chart i was noticing Call of Duty: Advance Warfare and that it was lagging behind in pre-orders. Checking the charts off other years i discovered the difference is nothing short of shocking:

Total pre-orders 16 weeks from launch:

Call of Duty: Black Ops II:              840.000        

Call of Duty: Ghosts:                       923.000 (including PS4 and XOne)    

Call of Duty: Advance Warfare:    181.000 (including PS4 and XOne)

Offcourse you might be inclined to think that this is due to gamers focusing on Destiny first, and a game that big means they are holding off on other pre-rders. Well last year there was another big game dominating the pre-orders charts and releasing in September: Grand Theft Auto 5. And in 2012 there was another big game on top off the charts aswell: Halo 4. And that year Call of Duty pre-orders did not suffer either.

If any A trend clearly visible. Moreover, it's interesting to note that Call of Duty: Advance Warfare doesn't seem very interesting to ''new gen'' PS4/Xbox One owners, a strong contrast compared to most other big crossgen games so far.

So is this really the end of an era? Please give your opinion in the comments below.

Was going to argue Destiny but GTA5 kind of debunks that theory. Though give some credence to Destiny being the same genre as CoD; the latter does seem to be on the decline. Still think it'll do 1mil+ first month.

I wouldn't even mind if less people buy CoD. Would probably make the community a lot better, all the kids can go on over to Destiny .

Anyway, no CoD will still sell a boat load of copies. I'm sure VGChartz is probably under tracking CoD.

No MP hype trailer out. Give it a month.  It usually comes out by now. 

Maybe people just arent feeling the need to pre-order a game thats going to be readily available everywhere you look?

The end of Call of duty era and the beginning of the Destiny era

continuation of Activision dominance.

But no, Destiny will be lucky to sell over half of what CoD does. 

Hopefully at least.

I said the begining,i think  Destiny 2 will outsell call of duty
