This will be a huge game commercially. There is tons of hype and Activision will fuel that hype even more leading up to release. It's also releasing at a prime time. End of summer, nothing anywhere near it for a couple months and people are going to be clamoring for something since there are really no other AAA games coming out this summer.
However, will it hold the attention of gamers, enough to buy future add-ons and a sequel in a few years? But then again, does this really matter? Titanfall was a commercial and critical success, but just because people got bored of it after a couple months, does that make a game a failure? I don't know anyone playing GTAV anymore, but are they calling it a failure just because no one plays it anymore?
