I doubt it. This time, they have a real competitor that will divert sales: Call of Duty 7.

So Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare wasn't a "real competitor"?

call of duty franchise was no way near as big it is today.call of duty games were always good and they didn't have that brand name,now it does.

 

now call of duty belongs to that category which all the people buy to show off that they have played it.

COD didn't have to be as big as it is now, the point is it was already a pretty big franchise that was known by many people. The hype and word of mouth was also huge and mostly positive. COD4 also had more online players than Halo 3 did for a long time. How is that not competition?
