Nice to see Killzone:Shadow Fall doing so well. Right behind COD:Ghosts and BF4. I pre-ordered KZ:S a while ago, but the previews are really making this look good. I like that the play is going to be more open...which makes me think it is similar to Crysis 2 gameplay. And the OWL is looking good, too. These changes are welcome, IMO.
Battlefield shows up for both next gen consoles, but Ghosts doesn't show up for either. Curious.
Finally people got tired of generic FPSs, hurray for that
Probably have to wait and see if they pick up as their launch dates get closer, but the rather lacklustre figures for Cod Ghosts and BF4 indicate military shooters are finally starting to wane in terms of popularity.
Personally not getting BF4 and instead keeping BF3 as it just looks like a multiplayer expansion pack to it.

Not sure why Ghosts is doing so bad. I have several friends on my xbox live list who aren't getting ghosts because they didn't like MW3, but that's just a few of my friends and doesn't speak for the global population. These friends that I am referring to have pretty much every cod from cod 4 - black ops 2, but apparently some of them don't like MW3 enough to not get this new cod. I wonder if the low pre-orders are because of next gen though. I think cod ghosts can break black ops 2 record launch although it's got a lot of catching up to do.
Well the sales are getting split between 5 different consoles
