Call of Duty Vita: The true "game changer" in the West / Prediction Thread

[radishhead]

"While hardly a shocking revelation, it’s been confirmed that Call of Duty is indeed Vita bound. In an interview with GameTrailers, newly-appointed SVP of PlayStation Brand marketing Guy Longworth dropped word that the title is in development.

Longworth reckons the title will be an “absolute game-changer” for the portable. It’s on for a fall release, though no further details were spared. It’s worth noting that the Vita is the first handheld platform that can properly support a full-blown Call of Duty FPS experience, so that alone will certainly turn heads"

"CoD is a big enough series to be a game changer", "Cool going to get it", "If this is done right, then it will be a game changer", "I already know several people who are buying it just for CoD", "its gonna make a lot people buy vita just for that", "CoD players pay hundreds of dollars just for the best headphones and controllers", "if exclusive, I'm sold", "I'll buy the Vita version when it comes out", "I will definitely be purchasing the vita version", "Will it sell hardware? A good amount, for sure", "Anybody who doesn't think this will sell systems is nuts", "did everyone saying its not a game changer forget MW2 sold 12 million copies in its first week?".....

Clearly many people are excited for the upcoming CoD release on Vita, and are expecting millions of others to have the same feelings for this blockbuster franchise making a full game on a handheld for the first time. Do you think it will be a game changer?

Why not make some predictions? - I'll be happy to make a table for future reference, so you can all laugh at each other in the future. Personall,y I see this title selling to around 25% of those that would otherwise play CoD on a PS3, so I'll go for around 5 million. I can see how this number has potential to be much higher however- it might even become a 10-15million seller hit!
