I bought BO I played it for 1 Prestige and I went back to MW1 and MW2, Those games I got for more then a year and I still didnt got bored.
You're correct. Sales rates proved it wasn't a failure. Sales rates don't prove how good or bad a game is especially since most will play, bitch and repeat but......
Sales rates prove if a game IS A FAILURE or not. Ke$ha to me is the dumbest thing in music but common sense and sells numbers prove she is successful. They guy I quote said BO is COD's biggest failure even though it's the biggest selling COD at launch and DLC sells have continued. I'm sorry for bringing facts to an argument. I could care less about if people think it's good or bad. My concern is good players vs bad who have excuses for every death. I loved killing in my AC130 so just because some scrub can only get kills on targets 2 ft in front I should suffer?
Betas wouldn't hurt sells either since most buy games to free themselves from previous games. BO had so much hype and sells based of people looking for a MW2 savior. BO removed most annoying things but now MW2 is god again.
A big chunk of Battelfield 3 and MW3's sales will come just from people wanting a game that doesn't suck like they say BO does even though they play the game still. COD4 is better than BO but I played that for 2 years, it's not THAT good in my opinion, no game is.
