Playstation cant even let the Xbox guys have a single month in the year? when you know they say thats all they care about? meanies!

"greatest games lineup in Xbox history."   *sigh*

The decline is due to franchise fatigue and Infinity Ward and Sledgehammer giving 0 fucks about the quality of their games. It's no coincidence that Black Ops 3 is the first CoD in 5 years to be up compared to the previous entry, Treyarch is the only developer somewhat trusted by the majority of the CoD playerbase. Especially Infinity Ward is hated by a lot of players, I'm expecting a massive decline for the next game no matter how good it actually is, wouldn't be surprised if it's under 6m after 2 months. As someone who's bought all CoD games since MW2 and all map packs except those of AW: Infinity Ward could go defunct tomorrow and I wouldn't give a shit. If Infinity Ward keeps doing things like they did since MW2's launch then CoD would be better off without Infinity Ward.

@ Jason - Sorry I couldn't quote properly, it wouldn't let me.

"Cod Still going strong but tis still not as strong as it once was."

This is the COD data to end of First December according to VGC.

MW - 9 weeks - 3.4M

WAW - 8 weeks - 3.89M

MW2 - 8 weeks - 7.857M

BLOPS - 8 weeks - 11.1M

MW3 - 8 weeks - 10.87M

GHOSTS - 9 weeks (7 week xb1 - 8 weeks 9 ps4) - 9.335M

AW - 9 weeks - 7.53M

Defintely a decline showing over this short period. Would you say that the decline could be due to the rise of digital?
