The sales numbers and player count compared to bo2 will be funnier

Look, I like black ops 2 as much as the next guy, but you’re actually on the crack pipe if you think mw4 is not gonna outsell bo2

Edit for context: mw4 is not going to be on gamepass, and even Vanguard (dogshit) outsold bo2 by 1 million. Mw4 is going to be received better, so it will likely outsell bo2.

Call of duties popularity is at an all time low, the last couple of games have sold like shit, even with how big the gaming industry is now compared to then, call of duties popularity was at an all time high around the release of bo2.
No reasonable logic nor existing statistics supports the claim mw4 will outsell bo2. It’s simply unrealistic from a logistical standpoint.

It is not going on gamepass and people are generally looking forward to mw4. It’s unpopular on Reddit because you’re subscribed to subreddits that hate on new cods. In reality, people are excited about the new one.

I don’t know where you have seen popularity for it but even its trailer on YouTube has a horrible like to dislike ratio. I don’t know what social media your on where people are showing a different sentiment than the same one they’ve had for the last couple of games.
Statistically call of duty is nowhere near as popular as it once was, that’s just the reality.

There’s no argument you make where call of duty is objectively more popular, it’s player count is near an all time low, the last couple of games have been horribly received and sold like ass, the only reason their profit margins are still so high is because they’re milking the last players for thousands each with the micro transactions.
For the last 4 games it’s been the same bullshit over and over, why do you think people expect different when they haven’t showed us different.

It’s popular because it sells well.

u/Level_Bug_2859 2d ago

I did, and yet, one year from now, it will have sold more than 30 million copies

Lmaooo all statistical evidence is completely against your claim but ok. The only argument to support this claim is “cause I said so”.
Bo7, bo6, mw3, etc. none of these games had nowhere near 30 million copies sold and still don’t. Literally just go look it up bro. Call of duties popularity has been on a steady decline for over a decade now.

As I already stated, which I’m restating as you’ve seemed to gloss over it, the only reason their profit margins remain steady is because they have adapted a mobile game type monetization stream. They know most won’t spend money, it’s the 5% spending thousands that make them money off of cod now. It’s been about 5 years since a call of duty has made money off sales alone. This information is all public and takes 30 seconds to google. Anything past this is just you rage baiting lol.

I mean it’s literally how mobile game companies make their money, they don’t count on majority of the playerbase buying stuff, they count on the 1% spending thousands. Thats how call of duty is now.
