COD Ghosts pre order numbers "well below" Black Ops 2

Looks like people are finally sick of COD.

I don't think they're sick of it, yet. I am 100% sure it will sell great and better than the vast majority of games on the market.

EDIT: I give it two more games before it dies.

Black Ops2 has sold 4 million less copies than MW3 and COD Ghost has less pre orders than BLOPS 2 had.  Looks like the numbers are heading in the right direction, finally.

It won't go away overnight but I bet GTA V outsells it overall and Battlefield 4 outsells it on next gen consoles.

Oh GTA V will definitely outsell it overall. Maybe BF4; I don't know much about those games.

Good, hopefully this trend continues and the degenerates will find a new hobby

It will still be better then battlefield 4

Yeah but what about the Next Gen Fish! :o

The fact that it looks really lame even considered against Black Ops 2 probably has much more to do with it.

I wonder what the next big thing will be.  Whatever it is, it needs to get here fast so I can b*tch about it on a forum.

CoD = doomed.

You can fight Under-Water guys! Can you do that in BF4? :cool:

Good. The sooner they realise they need to change the better. I don't want CoD to disappear, just get good again

*says pre-orders low than BO2*... *during November game sells over 5 million in 1 day*

Lets not give people too much credit. Need at least another decade or so of the same old shit until they even come close to waking up.

People are buying new consoles this fall so maybe that has something to do with it. 

I was mildly excited for Black Ops 2, and I definitely had a blast with the campaign. Ghosts? Puhleaseee... got better things to do with my time.

So it's only gonna post 20 million lifetime sales instead of 25 million. How sad for Activision.

We say that every year.

And every year it ends up selling like hotcakes.

There was an article on gamespot of a COD dev talking about how they won't change anything radical to the series, otherwise they would lose appeal.

Yet the radical change of the multiplayer in COD: Modern Warfare was what made the series so huge in the first place. If you change nothing the series will become stale and people will eventually become tired.

Perhaps not this game but like someone in this thread said: give it 2-3 more games and if they leave everything unchanged, people will move on.

Good, hopefully this trend continues and the degenerates will find a new hobby

Even when CoD dies, it'll just be replaced by something else which will draw all "teh hate from teh hardcorz" for its popularity.

To be honest as much as I hate cod I think it will remain as the most popular frenchise pretty much forever unless there is some sort of videogame crash like in 1983. The reason is simple, nowadays call of duty is pretty much like a sports game, there many times where games like Fifa never introduced any innovative gameplay elements compared to the previous game in the series and it still sold like hotdogs, the same happens with call of duty.

No one is sure which platform they will get cod ghosts on yert according to what eric said.

its a new console cycle.....clean slate for everyone.....this holiday is going to cost a lot of people a lot of money. i bet they still sell close to 10 million

They growing up. Time to move to Killzone.

I love Call Of Duty and am excited at the brave new turn Infinity Ward have made to the series, however its seems alot of people don't share my excitement! I predict if this entry flops, we will just go back to having the monster-sellers that are Black Ops and MW in alternate years, which still is certainly not a bad thing!

But what about the fish AI?!

No shit. It's August and they haven't shown any multiplayer footage, only underwhelming single player footage.

I'll probably end up buying it, I like SnD too much.

Video gaming is dieing once again. :twisted:

This is the first COD game i havent pre-ordered... 

After MW3, BO & BO2 I lost all hope in the series, so I'll wait for a few reviews, watch some gameplay vids and check out the general opinion in forums before I even think about getting the game..

when it comes to shooters the likes of Arma3, BF4 & Killzone:SF will surely be more than enough :)

i don't play COD i find battlefield to be the better game.
