Why are people saying the deal is useless? Even if its less than COD, it still sells 10s of millions. And unlike COD, the franchise isn't in decline.

Black Ops 3 has sold much much more than Ghosts and Advanced Warfare respectively. That is not decline. The series was in decline but 'seems' to be on the upswing.

Sold far less than both BO2 and MW3. And considering how wary people are for "infinite warfare" I doubt that'll last long.



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

Black ops 3(PS4) will pass Black Ops 2(360 and PS3 individually) in time considering VGChartz has BO3 at 12.99 million on PS4 and has BO2 at 14(PS3) and 13.70(360). The Xbox 1 version won't though.

However I don't disagree with you that the series in general is suffering fatigue. Activision's DLC and RNG practices are pissing people off despite BO3 being a very well made game(in my opinion). With Infinite Warfare, we could see huge sales initially because of the Modern Warfare Remaster not being available seperately and then a huge drop off(much like Battlefront) soon after if the game(Infinite Warfare) cannot stand on its own. Very hard to determine considering it will be a huge Christmas seller, has Sony's push and the MW:Remaster...

When we see actual gameplay it will be more indicative.

They've had market rights for BF for as long as i can remember, it's not a big deal, It's a two week release difference on DLC. Also it's going to sell better on PS4 regardless.



Is EA access a deal ? pay 25$ pay 60$ for online pay 100$ for the B1 to become a beta tester for 10 hours? nope
A good Deal is some exclusive in game staff and dlc. Also will be awesome B1 to go with new xbox hardware that make the game playable 1080P 60Fps with DX12
There! That is a epic way to advertise a good looking game with new console



 

 

Because they got no more moneyz Sony isn't as to h as Microsoft.



Sony has COD and Destiny, which will both get marketed heavily when their next big game/content drops come out in the fall. Last year BO3 and Taken King were big sellers for PS4.



 

Sony probably isnt interested in funding everything. Also, marketing both CoD and BF is probably a conflict for the publishers.
