Updated as best I can- it's fine for a rough idea for expectations :) (seems they are very varied)

Am i the only one that expects this call of duty to be a port of the current Call of duty that will come out?

It most certainly will sell less than 100k. Why would anyone in their perfect mind pick the Vita copy over the PS3/360/PC version?
Its about the same thing as the Wii version of CoD.

 

I'm pretty sure Sony is beeing purposely vague about it so try and generate some hype.

 

No way would activision develop and exclusive game for the Vita unless the system sales pick up in the west, wich isnt expectable.

...which is why you shouldn't be expecting a straight port...



I think people's expectations are too low xD

I suppose it depends on if it is just a port of the 360/PS3 CoDs. If it is the only CoD to be released this year then I believe it will make a huge impact, but if it is just a port. People will be like, "Yeah i'll buy that for my PS3/360 instead."



I actually think COD Vita is going to sell quite a lot.

4.5 millions!



1.5 million first month and 5 million lifetime



I dont see any reason why someone would want to buy a vita just for CoD. Might convince those who are on the fence, but other than that every CoD fans alrdy have a console that can run CoD. I also think this will be a port of black ops2, but even if its not, the simple fact that CoD black ops 2 will release along side this vita exclusive will make it lose alot of attention. CoD fans are dumb fanatatic enough to buy 1 CoD game that is basicaly the same every single year... but are they dumb fanatic enough to buy 2 a year? I dont think so and I think the odds is that if CoD fans have to choose between the same old tested and proved formula of a home console game or chose to take a chance by buying the new experience on Vita that will cost them a new system I bet they are going to stick with home console.

Also, like stated in the article, CoD players are elitists online player, so they will want to stick with Xbox live with theyr comfy controler or theyr big screens instead of playing the game on a small handheld with these little joysticks via wi-fi. (nothing against small handhelds, i love handhelds but this is what I think CoD players will think)

PS: Am I the only one who thinks these quotes from the article are fake? lol. They sound like quotes from a lame shamwow TV add that are desperate to convince us that we want to buy the vita for CoD lol.

 

My prediction, it will sell good, but it wont be a game changer. Between 400 and 600thoudands units first week. And around 1.5milion lifetime.
