Simple, do you think the next call of duty will sell less than it's games before, I have noticed this year that there is a lot more hate for this franchise than there was last year, and with Battlefield 3 showing how a game should progress/visually throughout it's series rather than repeating the same old stuff I think some COD fans are feeling a little cheated/fool for falling for the hype and buying the last on

just going to throw in some COD sales from previous games

Call of duty: Finest hour (ps2)  2.81 million           

Call of duty: Finest hour (xbox) 1.17 million      1.64 million gap (ps2)

 

Call of duty 2:Big red one (ps2)2:38 million

Call of dity 2:Big red one(Xbox) 1.14 million    1.21 million gap (ps2)

Call of duty 3 (ps3) 1.26  million      <--------- (Notice the switcheroo in sales/platform preference) 

Call of duty 3 (x360) 2.59 million                     1.33 million gap (x360)

Call of duty 4 modern warfare (ps3) 5.69 million  2.83 million gap (x360)

Call of duty 4 modern warfare(x360)8.52 million

Call of duty: world at war (ps3) 4.54 million (ps2) 1.50 million   2.08 million gap (x360)

Call of duty; World at war(X360) 6.62 million

Call of duty;MW2 (ps3) 9.21 million    3.3 million gap (x360)

Call of duty; MW2 (X360) 12.51 million

Call of duty black ops (ps3) 10.33 million   2.4 million gap (x360)

call of duty black ops (x360) 12.73 million

Call of duty MW3????? I think it may sell less as i have seen a lot more hate on the franchise now, or could it backfire and just give the game more publicity

Some funny battlefield/mw piss take videos

I think It will sell a million or so less than black ops, mostly because I think battlefield will take away a good chunk of call of duty fans

It will be the best selling IMO

it will outsell all the rest

I think it will sell more. Could even see it on the Wii U at some point - that would give it a boost over its predecessors.

I'm pretty sure it will outsell the rest. Even if popularity has gone slightly down, you have more consoles out now, which I think will easily make up the difference.

Either way it's going to sell lots.

it looks like it will be better then those before it but even Activision thinks it will sale less so maybe it wll?

i'll play it on 360 cause i have a friend thats going to get it butt i'm getting battlefield.
he says he can't play on PS because its not a shooter controler. he's buying both though.

it will sell more...much more

I think it will remain stable.
