The Call of Duty craze finally seems to die down a bit. Still needs to be confirmed in weeks one sales numbers of course, but it looks like this is also a series and genre that had one extremely popular generation, like platformers in the 3rd Gen, fighting games in the 4th, RPG's/adventure games in the 5th and racing/sandbox games in the 6th. Curious to see what series/genre will be the 'it-thing' next Gen!
CoD: BO2 pre-order prediction: 1.75-2.00m for 360, 0.80-0.90 for PS3.
