Not this year, but perhaps in the long run (which is actually the prediction).

Besides, GTA doesn't do that yearly, making CoD more impressive.


Uhm no. GTA V will probably outsell this years COD and next years COD combined.

Errr...you expect it to sell 40-50 million? Yeah, good luck with that one. It would have to, at least, double the franchise's known 25-26 million, which won't happen no matter how impressive these numbers are. 

I think it can reach 40m. Not 50m though.

40m is a certainty if they announce PC and/or next-gen versions, and 50m a possibility

Now more versions (next gen, specifically), yes, I could see it doing 40-45 million. No doubt.

You guys are crazy. I can't see it going past 28-32 million. 


some people are living in a dream world or ignoring the numbers. Blops2 already sold LESS than MW3 did why some people think that Ghosts all of a sudden will sell better than Blops2 did is beyond me. SO they added two more consoles. So what those are two consoles that arent even out and i imagine those numbers will account for the missing PS360 ones, havent even seen the WIi U version on the charts might as well not even exist. 

WaW came out a year after MW1 and sold less than MW1 yet the next CoD smashed the previous record holder. It doesn't mean much when a game doesn't sell as much as last years iteration. It could be a sign of things to come but as far as CoD goes its by far the most reliable profit machine in the industry.

CoD is the biggest franchise of the last decade. No game series has ever made so much money so fast, and I doubt any franchise ever will. In the last five years CoD has had billion dollar revenue streams yearly from each title within months or even weeks of release. GTA 5 broke the record for the fastest title to reach a billion dollars revenue but the end result will still be very close. 

CoD is so huge that each title held its general MSRP of $60 for MUCH longer than GTA 4 even though CoD had yearly titles coming out. The CoD franchise is very attractive to consumers and even more so for share holders because it is a guaranteed billion dollar revenue stream with every release of CoD...which is every year!

GTA 5 is very impressive but its revenue stream doesn't touch half of what CoD has done in the last 5 years or what CoD will do in the next 5 years. And that not even taking into consideration how much GTA 5 even cost!
