Also why are we ignoring the Mario phenomenon and the fact that it is only released on ONE platform? CoD is multi plat, no? So you're gonna tell me that if it was JUST on PS or Xbox that it would sell the same numbers?
And PLEASE stop calling Mario a "past glory". The fact that new games AND four or five year old games are still selling well and still in the upper reaches in the charts tells me that Mario is very much a force to be reckoned with today.
Again I'm sorry to bring up Nintendo in a PS discussion but when certain people have to make outlandish statements (ie. CoD is the biggest gaming franchise in history - and yes, someone did say that, it's here in this very thread for you to read) I feel I have to speak out. CoD is undoubtedly doing phenomenally well but to say then that it's the biggest gaming franchise in history is BS of the highest order.
Also, why do I come in here if I'm a Nintendo fan (before anybody asks? Because I'm also a PS3 owner, a fan of the console and am pleased that it is having such huge success.
