You could say the same for some Mario games, but it is the name or brand that everyone still knows.

So what? Mayday is a holiday that weeps some games? Or are you just doing a thread on it.

No, Mayday will be the day I put the thread up

And yes, everyone will remember the Mario brand, because it's been going for so long. It's also well-renowned as amongst the best series' of all time. COD, Battlefield etc. strike me as little more than a 'fad' which will be gone from the charts in 5 years.

I remember my dad and a lot of parents, saying the same thing about pokemon...

The difference is, Nintendo kept it going. Activision have a track-record for dropping mega-franchises. Remember Guitar Hero? Remember how big it is/was? Remember what happened to it?

COD has all the signs of a fad. As soon as people pick up that there's no huge changes each game, the sales will stagnate and it'll be dropped. This will likely happen during the transition to next-gen.
