How do you guys know the negative reception was real for yearly COD buyers?   

2nd most disliked video on YouTube. Sure cod has been hated in the past, but not like this

That still does not automatically mean those dislikes are yearly COD buyers.  The dislikes are not surprising with all the internet talk about disliking it.  It was almost like a campaign to generate dislikes.

I prefer battlefield but I find it hard to believe that all of the sudden people love EA/Dice after complaining so much about Battlefield 4, Hardline and also Star Wars Battlefront all of which are either Battlefield, EA or Dice related. 

I have said this on other threads about this topic:

COD hate = normal

Battlefield EA/Dice sudden love = not normal.

I would not be surprised if a decent percentage of these upset people were not planning on buying COD in the first place.  Then I think about comments I have seen on Battlefield/X1 marketing and it seems a percentage, how big I do not know, are excited about the marketing deal more than the game.
