Except in an industry crash CoD would likely be one of the last AAA tentpoles along with GTA, TES, Assassin's creed and Mario etc so those franchises would be likely more popular and influential than ever due to less competition. Because you know they still are profitable it's everything else that would die or be reduced to low budget downloadable releases/ freemium phone games.

I never said we needed a crash for that to happen.
If anything it'll go down the Guitar Hero route, people will just get tired of the yearly releases after a while. Shooter Bubble looking to burst soon. Open-World/Sandbox looking to become the next "thing".

If CoD goes down then Activision would have to rely mainly on Blizzard considering they destroyed guitar hero and tony hawk IPs. I don't really want an industry crash but I wouldn't mind seeing Activision and EA going bankrupt.
