Analyst: Black Ops won't outsell Modern Warfare 2

Treyarch believes Call of Duty: Black Ops will be the best game in the franchise. Activision CEO Bobby Kotick thinks it'll continue the trend of the latest CoD game outperforming its predecessor, but there's at least one dissenting voice saying it won't.

 

Pacific Crest Securities analyst Evan Wilson has boosted his sales prediction for Black Ops from 10 million to 12 million copies, but still believes that it will fall short of Modern Warfare 2.

 

Wilson estimates that last year's Infinity Ward megahit sold 16 million copies in the 2009 holiday season, a number that's just unreachable for Black Ops due to "competition, weaker marketing, and the Infinity Ward situation."

 

We'll see when Call of Duty: Black Ops comes out on November 9.

It's on the Wii too though, so maybe it could still happen. Hey, stranger things have happened. *shrug*

ur definitely xbot fanboy. bad company 2 is hundred times better than that shit MW2. stupid knifing speed hacks, might as well call it that. jumping 10 feet and knifing as fast as super man. and the super tiny maps and low player count and stupid immature kids like u playing makes it even worse. bad company 2 definitely on whole nother level.

No MATE seriously

i use to hate BF series, the movement just didnt feel right and it was difficult to shoot

But i persevered, with the demo, and decided to buy the game

Im am telling you it is 10000000 times better than mw2, just going back and playing mw2, makes me sick, to think i use to think it was good

BC2 has lots of tactics, and when you get use to the movement etc, theres no difference, just takes getting use to

And if you get a good team and squad, and stick with your four man squad. It is epic

Although, they really need to get new maps out, and stop playing the game twice from both side, (because ive been in games which have left forever, and just being forced to play the same level again is disappointing)

pick up a copy and play it for a month

Completely agree with the analyst that the game wont have nearly as high numbers in sales. Although I wouldn't have even said it'd sell as many copies as he's predicting either.

sorry treyarch your Call of duty versions single player are good but when it comes to online you suck. COD3 had so many bugs it was ridiculous and WaW was good but you need to get out of the WWII idea.. there are so many other battles you could of made CoD in Desert storm although it wasnt a long conflict or mix that with good old GWB's war too...

just one thing CoD needs to do...

-get rid of bullet penetration (M16 shoots through EVERYTHING)
-allow more customization of weapons.
-design something better then the "perk" system..
