| Thuglas said: I doubt it will happen and those are the same reasons given every year for why COD will die out but those reasons never apply. New battlefield, No new ideas, casuals will move on etc. CoD has been a massive seller since 2007, why would its fanbase be "casuals who will move on"? |
I'm not saying it dies out entirely. Hardly that. At the numbers I've predicted it's still comfortably the #2 best selling game of the holiday, #3 at the worst.
CoD has been massively bundled for the last several years for both X1 and PS4, and yet a large number of people kept buying and playing CoD, including legacy titles, on last gen. If they didn't upgrade in the last year, they're perhaps even less likely to upgrade consoles now. And if they did, they'd probably do so for an entirely different game than CoD.
Rather than have me explain why IW will be down YoY, why don't you explain to me why it will maintain and grow the very same audience this year?
I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016
