Report: Call of Duty sales slowing down, Modern Warfare 3 down year over year

This is not death of COD. Far from it.

Customers did not find MW3 as appealing as BO - therefore, reduced sales in the longer period relatively.

Maintaining momentum is always a challenging scenario in an intensely competitive environment.

Hopefully, COD developers will now pay more attention to importance of innovation and customer demands.

And Yes! Gaming industry does not ends at COD. Many people try different games all the time and develop new likings.

I hope not.cause then we'll just have traded one Shooter for another.

But wouldn't we be trading a crappy shooter for a better one?

MW3 has the worst textures I've ever seen in a game. Even though how lame it looks. We're talking about sales here, so again this is NOT bad news.

Suppose there are 2 people A and B. And each can have a maximum of 10 chocolates.

What A does is eat 2 chocolates first, then 2 later, then 2 later, then 2 later and finally the last 2.

What B does is eat 7 chocolates first and then eats 2 and finally the last one.

In the end, both simply ate 10 chocolates. B (that's MW3) simply took a head start. When A was short of chocolates, B STILL had more.

Weird example, I know. But describes it pretty well.

All you did was make me want some chocolate...

If you're gonna start selling the MW2 in a MW3 cover (which was actually MW1 with a MW2 sticker on the CD) then this is bound to happen

Who wants to see COD finish off completely?

How does this suggest the end of the COD franchise? Many people prefer the COD series over the BF games. So if anyone thinks that this will potentially ruin the COD franchise must be living in a fool's paradise.

Meanwhile in Activision land, they're getting ready to reveal the next COD.

I'm guessing this is Activisions new plan to release a new COD every 6 months?

Shame on both of you

It is simply a poster telling the date of the next COD reveal. It isn't exactly the release date. They will just release press detailing the next COD and it's release date which will be most likely in Nov-Dec if we follow previous trend.
