CoD-brand has grown a lot since 2005. I did not mention by end of the year. End of next year would be a good measure.

COD is a front loaded game and doesn't have legs that make long term comparisons worth it.

Just look at X360, it took ~3yrs for it to become dominant in games over previous gen, specifically PS2. (maybe closer to 2yrs than 3...)

Your comparison is pretty much irrelevant, because you are comparing 360 to last gen market leader. We aren't looking at the sales of current gen leader, just second and third placed consoles. If you want, we can disregard the second best selling console and compare Wii U sales to the biggest loser, whichever  console it might be in 1.1.2014. If you want to compare, compare the sales of GC version to 360 version. 360 is likely the third place console this gen.

Or are you expecting Wii U to be the last next gen?

Anyway, total sales in one year and some extra is a good measure.

360 CoD 2005:

As we can see, 360 version sold 6 times as much as GC version. Maybe we should expect the same from Wii U?
