-Too complicated for average joe to master

-No PC release (that I know of)

-No nintendo fanbase (Call of Duty was/is on Nintendo platforms)

-Gives a more hardcore vibe where as Call of Duty gives more of a casual vibe

-So many shooters on Market these days

This franchise will do Halo Numbers on the New systems but not Call of Duty numbers. The industry just doesnt need any more shooters I dont think. Maybe I am wrong! The industry is leaning toward open world games and this is kinda open world so it might who knows?

Point 1. I don't get how it's so complicated honestly. There's a little bit of a learning curve, but nothing like most RPGs. 

Point 2. Completely invalid. Many COD titles aren't on the wii at all, and the ones that are had poor sales 

Point 3. Same as point 1. I could see hardcore and casual getting into this. I don't see how this is only a hardcore game. Very few games are like that honestly. 

Point 4. This works against COD just as much as it does Destiny, if not more so because at least Destiny is new. 

If Destiny did Halo numbers, it would be a massive success, and more successful than Call of duty. I'm not sure if destiny will be the next COD. But I think that because many people night not want it. The market is somewhat confusing. 

Bolded ain't true, at least comparing with Sony/MS. Of the top of my head I can only remember Modern Warfare 2 not being on Nintendo platform. Let me see if I'm correct:

CoD 3 - check (Wii)

CoD: world at war - check (Wii)

CoD: modern warfare (reflex edition) - check (Wii)

CoD: modern warfare 2 - Wasn't on any Nintendo system

CoD: modern warfare 3 - check (Wii)

CoD: black ops - check (Wii)

CoD: black ops 2 - check (WiiU)

CoD: ghosts - check (WiiU)

 

I can't remeber any more CoDs on consoles and I think I've covered them all, but maybe I'm missing any of them? Was CoD 2 was on any console? PS2/Xbox?

Even if I'm missing something, 7 out of 8 or 9 surely isn't "many".

Saying this let me add that the most fun I had on a CoD on a console was CoD: Modern Warfare Reflex Edition (consoles should have stick with motion controls, it was perfect for some types of games, like FPS).

As for the rest, I agree with you although I'm pretty sure a few of those sold decently (not great, but decent), Nintendo platforms had/have little to no impact when it comes to CoD.

You're forgetting the best one... COD4. So you're right, I guess many wasn't the right termanology. 

And most of the COD games on nintendo systems have sold somewhere around .7-1.5 million. For a console that's sold as much as it has, that's a pretty bad install base. And I think that this info still shows that nintendo hasn't been pivotal in the success of the Call of duty franchise.
