Yeah yeah ok. CoD is everyone's game of choice. It's just so popular they makes calendars clocks birthday cards mugs t shirts Easter eggs houses helicopters and moons with CoD on. CoD is also exclusive to one system and sells regularly above 10 million, and has sold over 20, even 25 million copies. One iteration of CoD still sells 5/6 years after release and is consistently in the top
30. If you asked the general public who is the fave of gaming they'd say an army dude off a CoD game.
I'm not downplaying it's success but please? Mario is the face of gaming the face of the industry and has a gotten into the psyche of the general public. He's as big as Mickey Mouse, as famous as Michael Jackson, almost everyone could probably hum one of the classic Mario tunes. He's bigger, he's better, and he'll outlive this phase of CoD just like he's left every other fad behind.

Couldn't have said it any better myself. I was just too scared to post it... 'tis scary around these parts... ya know with all the CoD fans here.

Thanks! I'm just sticking up for us Nintendo fans. I mean don't get me wrong when things go well for other systems I'm all for it and of course think its worth celebrating/mentioning. But anyone disputing who is THE face of gaming just for a success to seem more triumphant than it is makes it annoying. Everyone on here who isn't a Nintendo fan likes to bash Nintenso, downplay its successes or make outlandish claims. History is not a few good years of sales of a multi platform franchise.
