Hopefully the franchise falls I hate it

I don't hate COD, but the big sales is undeserved...

I cannot remember the last time I played a COD game but I disagree with the sales are underserved.  The reason the franchise sells is because it targets the people who enjoy the game.  That is important for just about any game and as long as the developer continue to feed the people that purchase its games then the sales are deserved.  I might not be the target market but that doesn't make the game underserved.

For starters, it's probably being undertracked by quite alot, VGchartz tracking is way off, just look at Halo. Secondly, I suspect many people are waiting to see multiplayer before they preorder, hopefully Sledgehammer will show off the multiplayer soon. Thirdly, Ghosts likely shook people's confidence in the series at least somewhat, which will effect preorders, but not neccessarily sales. Fourthly, Activision is busy marketing Destiny right now, once Destiny releases in September, Activision will go full on Call of Duty marketing mode. Expect massive preorder numbers those last several weeks before Cod releases.

That means nothing, and you do not neccisarily know it is wrong, and if so by how much.

Call of Duty as a series has been on decline since Modern Warefare 2  and the series showed signs that it was close to peaking by Black Ops 2as the rate in which launch sales and preorders increasing year to year was already slowing down at that point. It is not surprising there would continue to be a decline in the series from its peak. Though personally I am surprised it is on the decline it appears to be.

Drake_tolu, I realise English is not your first language and I usually don't mind mistakes, but "less of" instead of "less than" drives me a bit nuts for some irrational reason. Don't mind me, just a tip.

But on topic: add CoD fatigue to increased competition from BF, TF and Destiny and you have a declining series. It will still go on to sell millions, but in the coming years it's not going to be the juggernaut that it used be.

Maybe Destiny will replace Call of duty



PS4 - over 100 millions let's say 120m
Xbox One - 70m
Wii U - 25m

Vita - 15m if it will not get Final Fantasy Kingdoms Heart and Monster Hunter 20m otherwise
3DS - 80m

2 reason cod has finally over stayed its welcome and plenty people has switched to digital copies

The preorder charts are not accurate.

Well, COD is on a decline and has been for several titles now. Many people have left for Battlefield and are maybe hoping Destiny fills that void. However, if you sell 25 million copies and you've significantly declined, selling 10 million copies is still a massive hit. COD isn't going away anytime soon, but the decline is real and it's never coming back. I do feel once August hits, they'll do a big MP reveal like they always do and it could really excite people that have grown stale of the series. Regardless, I think Destiny could make or break COD's success. If you're 2 months into Destiny and loving the game, you're going to be far less motivated to stop playing in favor of the new COD.
