I'll do as the OP asks 
CoD is popular because it gets a ton of advertising, and it's really very well-made. FPS is a popular genre on consoles nowadays, thanks mostly to Halo (though, of course, part of the credit lies with Goldeneye 007 and Perfect Dark). So, with millions of dollars of advertising, Activision managed to make "Call of Duty" synonymous with "first-person shooter". The first sold almost purely on word of mouth because it was so fantastic, the second built on that and tried to reach out to an even wider audience.
