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 don't know much about how heavily bundles affected sales. All I know is many major games get bundled and I never heard of anything suggesting Black Ops bundle was something extraordinary. that is why I didn't comment on the bundles part. I just don't know the details on this subject and you didn't even explain why the bundle were so special. not saying you are wrong, just that you didn't tell me exactly why you are right.
As for your reasoning about IW declining YoY, your main reason was the trailer had a negative reception by many right? I just don't see how that matters now when it has been cool to bandwagon hate CoD for years now on the internet. the massive hate it recieved never affected sales, I remember non stop hating for MW3 and non stop praising for battlefield 3 being the second coming, yet MW3 went on to becoming to best selling COD of all time. and you are the one claiming it will shrink, I replied saying I don't your reasoning for it shrinking is very strong. Why should I have to provide reasons of it "growing" its audience? All i have to do is provide reasons why it will not decrease to 15mil to disagree with you.
