Machiavellian said:
True, MS would be a fool to mess with a billion dollar IP but I believe if MS move COD to a 2 year cycle it will allow one or even 2 studios to be off of COD and do their own thing. Its going to be a balance act because COD still needs to bring in the money but it would probably be better if the game did have more time to be content rich. |
I think the most likely scenario (minus still doing yearly releases) is 3 years of releases then 1 year off as there are 3 main developers for the franchise. So it goes from 3 years on average to develop a new entry up to 4 years.
