Forums - Gaming - Activision Admits 'Call of Duty: Ghosts' Didn't Outsell 'Black Ops 2' At Launch

wasn't this ecpected? ...



Around the Network

Absolutely no surprise. Lots of people are waiting for the Xbox One and PS4 versions and even then it's likely that it wouldn't break the previous record.

Or is it just because BlackOps was established with the first game and Ghost is a "new series"?

I hope its the beginning of the end.

Are you in a 3rd world country? Is $60 annuallty a lot of money to you?


Lets say people would have stopped buying COD 4 years ago and wont buy this and 2014s COD then they basically saved their money for a PS4.

I would rather have a PS4 than 6-7 games that are the same. 

And if you also bought Fifa and Madden then you could buy a PS4+X1+WiiU+3DS for the same money you bought 3 different games over and over again.

TBH compared to FIFA or Madden or every other generic realistic sports game  COD is great but  it still is somewhat the same. (I am pretty sure even the engine is older than most COD gamers by now rofl)

What an unbelieveably stupid argument. My god, my head hurts from reading that.

You're implying having fun with CoD over the last 6 - 7 years was a waste because they could have saved money for the PS4? Well fuck, that's ridiculous.

You're so busy counting peoples money and ignoring they're having fun with those games year after year. Its sad you care so much, really sad.

Yet it made more money than GTA V... This may be the decline of CoD but its still very sad to see them sell so damn high...

Then you'd be assuming take two only shipped $800m-$1b worth of GTA. That is highly unlikely, since they sold $800m day one (to consumers)


I still dont believe Ghosts made more money than GTA V. I believe its Boby Kotick's PR bullshit attempt to keep the market believeing COD is still the biggest.

How can Ghosts make more money when its clearly going to sell less than GTA V in the first week?

I'm not saying its true, but maybe we should consider season pass money.

Then we have to wait and see how CoD performs on 8th gen consoles.

"dumb gamers"? offended I am. Why do we play games? for fun right? Cod is fun.......

That is your take on fun... Paying 60 dollars for the same content every year for me is dumb.


If they feel it provides them $60 of entertainment, what's the problem?

Are you in a 3rd world country? Is $60 annuallty a lot of money to you?

You do know were are in a recession?

Yes I'm, and no it's not... even tough why pay yearly for the same content??? I have 120 PS3 games and no yearly franchise on it have more than 1 game (1 fifa, 1 pes is all I have of yearly franchise)... If you like to pay 60 for the same game multiple times be my guest, maybe you're just to rich...

 

You own 120 PS3 games... yet you think people who bought every CoD are rich?

Simply... brilliant.

So sales are still decreasing in each new CoD installment... I expect this downward trend to get worse going into the next generation.
