"When you have such a successful pre-order programme and such a successful launch week I don’t think it’s surprising that the shape of the curve after that looks a little different than the year before."
I mean there's not much to add to what he said. It's a trend that is more easily observed in the Japanese market where strongly hyped games have phenomenal first weeks but die-off very quickly after launch. It's far more profitable that way. |
More profitable than Nintendo titles that sell 20+ million with little to no price cut throughout many years?

A title which sells 20+ million in 20 weeks is more profitable than one which sells 20+ million in 3 years. So yeah, it is likely that COD is more profitable than Nintendo games of equivalent or slightly higher sales though Nintendo makes up for it by having more than one uber big title.
