Then people complain about CoD ;O and not Mario. I wonder why CoD can make do with slight changes and new levels and still IMPROVE on past iterations (sales), yet no other franchise seems to be able to do that.

@bold. Don't be too hasty, Activision has a history of destroying its franchises with shortly separated releases. As for counter example, you have the whole plethora of EA sports games to pal-up with COD.

@complaining. Whether they complain or not doesn't interest me at this point, we're really talking about sales you and I so let's not bother with that matter right now, at least with me.

The EA sports games are pretty stable though, except FIFA perhaps. Some of them decline and some improve a bit.

Fair enough, but the EA sports brand has been running since the dawn of gaming (I'm exaggerating but you know what I mean).

Do you think that COD will peak? When it does, do you think it will decline as of that point and then stabilize or do you think it will stabilize?

Mind you I agree that there are few releases like that which are as consistent (recall the graph we talked about when the new tools were given).

Anyways now we're getting off topic. Point is, NSMB2 is selling gangbusters, but odds are even with DD included the series is declining due to reduced interest caused by lack of innovation.

End of. ;)
