I agree with libellule. I mentioned this in another thread even, COD simply is the bigger franchise now. Back when it was first announced most people seemed to think that Black Ops' sales would suffer because it was made by Treyarch, but that obviously isn't the case. I mean the series has even found a pretty respectable niche for itself in Japan even. At this point I don't think it matters who the developer is, it would still sell gangbusters. And although the reasoning was understandable most people also thought Reach's sales would grow compared to H3 because of the dramatically larger install base.

True, but I would say 99.9% of people that bought Black Ops (pretty much the entire generation population.. i.e. non-fan-boys) have no idea who Treyarch and Infinity Ward are. Ask a random person in line at Walmart buying a black ops game and that person would have no idea that different people put out COD games every other year.

no, you aren't giving the consumer enough credit here. I work at best buy and have had many conversations with people about black ops, I'd say maybe 50 to 60% of people don't know who the developers are, but it seems like almost half of them do.
