I aplaud all you purchasers for Destroying the videogam industry!!!

Expect loser Activision to release one every year

Not sure how this is "destroying" the industry

The game seems to be good in terms of quality.

He probably means "I'm not a CoD player and would like to see a franchise that I am enthusiastic about sell as well instead."

Or he may just be one of those guys who frowns on any franchise getting "too comfortable" to the point where it gets guaranteed sales records despite doing little to push the envelope by simply giving mainstream gamers more of what they want.

But if a game sells over 10m copies, I'm really not sure how that's "killing the industry" by generating tons of revenue and mainstream media attention.

Excellent post!

And I agree with the bolded!

One argument he could use though is COD: Black Ops resulting in attention going away from New IP's causing them to have lower sales....but the again thats life. Any market has that kind of a problem, from the movie business to other things.

It's 'bad' for the industry because other developers adopt the "me too" approach, and then you get this...

I lol'd real hard at the 5% for PC, Wii AND DS... And seriously Activision, i love my PC but just stop making the damn game for PC, it only get's pirated like crazy, and it would make the PS3 and X360 probably higher aswell.

Despite the fact that COD sells millions on PC?

Uh... no it really doesn't i think MW 2 barely made it to 1 million, and for every copy sold atleast 3-4 are being pirated.

and.....?

well someone said it sold millions and i guess he proved them wrong thats the and i guess lol.

Oh, I get it, I though he was saying that 1 million was a small number.
