I came on here, posted a fact, then the COD fangirl caught feelings, & resorted to name calling. I brought up GTA5 b-c it was the underdog, nobody thought GTA was selling that much, even when Take-Two predicted 18mil sold in a year they caught heat. CoD was supposed to had best GTA5 til Sept 18th when those sales/figures was reported, that's why GTA5 is brought up.

You are by far the most emotional/belligerent poster so far in this thread. You call out name callers but then turn around and call others fangirls like a twelve year old would. Kinda contradicting yourself, don't you think?

Ah, a butt hurt CoD bitch resorting to insults b/c GTA5 mopped up CoD. Save the EXCUSES, the game flopped.

 

Batefield developers never sold 20mil, they never grossed $1bil in 2 weeks, that's CoD, the SAME CoD that sold 11mil 1st week a year ago, now at under 3mil. 

 

Cry all you like you wimp, every time CoD goes against GTA, GTA wins, it happened w/ San Andreas in 2004, GTA4, & now GTA5. Next gen excuse, bitch please, GTA4 still broke records when 360/PS3 was still new, also Halo 3, so save the "next gen consoles launching", you butt hurt COD fangirl.

whoa there! relax, thats not how we do things around here...and why bring up GTA5? nobody in this thread said anything about COD selling better. Hell its pretty agreed across the board that Ghosts would sell less than BLOPS2 even taking into account PS4/xbone numbers. 

I was wondering when you were going to post here. But yes it looks like I was wrong in thinking Ghosts would sell more than BO2, you were right. Unstellar reviews, gen change, GTA, marketing weaker than ever compared to previous iterations.

But aren't these numbers only America and UK? People keep saying that BO2 sold 6 million on 360 alone FW or, CoD sold 11 milliom FW but that's worldwide, these are only Americas/UK's numbers though, right?


true, but just looking at the US numbers for both games they were still down. Its just the way it is, NO series puts up thsoe kinds of numbers forever especially annual ones. Tony Hawk, Guitar Hero, etc. all go down eventually.

Ghosts was terrible so it's rightly deserved. They also lied about dedis on the PC so IW can crash and burn for all I care. Only a handful of servers are dedicated at the moment and they promised a lot more would have rolled out by the 15th and they have not.

not really those were the first games that came to my mind, add Just Dance to the list and Assassin's Creed both Ubi games. Activision seems like the worst offender because theyve been doing it longer and youd think they learned something.

Yeah, they really are the worst offenders but at the same time they really know how to hit a stride for a generation. TH, GH then CoD. Need for Speed I think is the one that started the whole routine of yearly releases.

Call of Duty is done. Well, I wish.



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

It's still selling pretty well. It may be a massive drop off but it still sells alot.
