I don't know, that's a tough call. I mean, sure COD has VASTLY increased it's popularity, but to say it's more popular (more known) around the world than Final Fantasy? I don't know man....

Modern Warfare sold twelve million copies before factoring in PC sales. That is a one, a two, and six zeroes. That's more than Final Fantasy sold at the absolute screaming height of its popularity.

But do the sales of one game eclipse the popularity of a 22-year-old franchise? That's what I'm saying...

Yes, they kind oof do, since "popularity" is a statement of current affairs, not about legacy. Right now, Call of Duty stomps a mudhole in Final Fantasy's ass. That doesn't say much about the bundles, but pretending that Final Fantasy is bigger than Call of Duty is equivalent to shoving your hands in your ears and humming to yourself while mortar shells explode outside your house.
