some people are living in a dream world or ignoring the numbers. Blops2 already sold LESS than MW3 did why some people think that Ghosts all of a sudden will sell better than Blops2 did is beyond me. SO they added two more consoles. So what those are two consoles that arent even out and i imagine those numbers will account for the missing PS360 ones, havent even seen the WIi U version on the charts might as well not even exist. 

WaW came out a year after MW1 and sold less than MW1 yet the next CoD smashed the previous record holder. It doesn't mean much when a game doesn't sell as much as last years iteration. It could be a sign of things to come but as far as CoD goes its by far the most reliable profit machine in the industry.

CoD is the biggest franchise of the last decade. No game series has ever made so much money so fast, and I doubt any franchise ever will. In the last five years CoD has had billion dollar revenue streams yearly from each title within months or even weeks of release. GTA 5 broke the record for the fastest title to reach a billion dollars revenue but the end result will still be very close. 

CoD is so huge that each title held its general MSRP of $60 for MUCH longer than GTA 4 even though CoD had yearly titles coming out. The CoD franchise is very attractive to consumers and even more so for share holders because it is a guaranteed billion dollar revenue stream with every release of CoD...which is every year!

GTA 5 is very impressive but its revenue stream doesn't touch half of what CoD has done in the last 5 years or what CoD will do in the next 5 years. And that not even taking into consideration how much GTA 5 even cost!

WaW sales was simply the market telling Activision that they dont want to play anymore World War 2 era shooters anymore, they wanted more of that MW stuff. Dont know why people keep telling me about revunue and GTA and all that. Has nothing to do with Ghosts sales, ive yet to see a reason why people think Ghosts will do BETTER than Blops2

This was more of a response to the rest of the thread saying that GTA 5 was bigger than CoD, hence the revenue talk. As for Ghosts, it's made by Infinity Ward, not Treyarch. IW has a bigger fanbase than Treyarch does by quite a bit. Ghosts most likely won't beat GTA 5's opening record but it should end very close in sales. Don't know why everyone keeps saying CoD's on a decline just because one game doesn't break records like it has in the past or outsell its prequel. Sometimes sequels don't sell as well as usual but that doesn't mean that the franchise is "automatically" on a decline.

IMO once the marketing machine kicks into high gear, Ghosts will start impressing in the preorder charts.
