Well thats the real issue here isnt it?

No not they are not, I dont know why people keep saying this. Fact is you dont get those numbers by JUST being frontloaded. COD games sell YEAR round, they are consistently in the top 50 until its follow up is released. Which is insane considering it is a yearly franchise. People are STILL buying GTA at full price. both PS3 and 360 versions are in the top ten and that game was released in SEPTEMBER. Its Februrary. being frontloaded is factually wrong. 

But maybe you meant its not JUST frontloaded.

Yer sory not just indeed. Where as Nintendo systems games preorders are that frontloaded and people go buy the game. Which always makes me wonder why. Like we know the game will good but people jsut don't seem to preorder. I wonder if special editions and ultimate edtions etc which are limited make all the difference. It be nice to know how many COD players get the expensive one with the annual toy.

they do preorder. Ive seen all the big Ninty games on the preorder charts at some point in time. I think Ninty games just hit a ceiling of popularity and if im being frank they dont get marketed anywhere close to those of your average COD game.
