Ive said multiple times. Home consoles.  Not sure what the big deal about that is.  It is like saying Home Console pokemon is bigger than halo.  it's not, simple as that.  Handheld mario is bigger than handheld call of Duty.  Two different audiences and two different price ranges.

i'm not sure what's so hard to understand this, let just put it this way anybody who get COD exclusive wins nextgen thats how big it is on consoles, mario is not even big on consoles anymore. maior galaxy 2 did 500,00 in first npd vs 3 million just for 360 and NSMWU probablt sell 4 million in life time sales.

Did you mean to quote me?

no i meant the post you qouted

You do have a point though.  If Call of Duty went exclusive it would probably lead in whatever console owned it to being the winner of the generation. 

Depends, If CoD went exclusive to Sony, then I agree that M$ would lose a huge slice of their audience (altho they would probably be able to find something to replace it)

But if CoD would go exclusive to M$, I don't believe it would attract Sony's and Nintendo's audience that much. Clearly not Nintendo's for obvious reasons, and as for Sony, sure it's the most popular game on PS3, but their is so many war games outhere, they would just switch over to a other war game to fill the void instead of leaving the house of Killzone, GoW and Uncharted to name a few.

Also, ppl are extremely overestimating the lasting appeal of CoD. The game's sales are starting to drop already. I'm curious to see how they make the transition to next gen, but I doubt it will be nearly as popular. Cause new gen = new IPs = new experiences = new competitors = new fad. Also the fact that next gen = lower userbase when you consider the fact that most of CoD's userbase are teenagers who bought the game by peerpressure cause all of their friends bought the game.
