I’m not really looking to have a debate about the merits of CoD, believe me, and I haven’t played it after 2 either, but I do want to say that it’s not just about that.

It’s about having ‘mindless’ fun. Call of Duty offers this, a complicated game like Metroid doesn’t. That’s a different kind of fun. With CoD you can just shoot at stuff for half an hour and see a bunch of explosions, and think nothing of it. And that’s in the end what most people want.

Pfft. Doom and Duke Nukem 3D have done mindless fun for years before COD.

Yes, and I'm pretty sure those were also a lot more popular than Metroid (at least relative to the market at the time) because of that, which is the point.
