Black Ops will be big, analyst expects

4.4
Sales wise, Call of Duty: Black Ops could come close to Infinity Ward’s 2009 blockbuster. That’s according to Cowen and Company analyst Doug Creutz who reckons Treyarch’s latest could shift as much as 10 million units in year one.

Following the game’s announcement and first trailers, Black Ops is now expected to create a 17 percent year over year decline for the franchise, instead of the originally predicted 29 percent; 10.7 million copies is what the Creutz believes the title will sell, and that’s the conservative estimate.

Of the series’ current situation he states: “A strong performance by the Treyarch-developed Black Ops would help combat the notion that the departure of key Infinity Ward talent could permanently impair the Call of Duty franchise.”

Black Ops is out later in the year, November 9 worldwide.

with the current hype the fact that so many people paid for mw2 and will want something new come the end of the year with a mix or zombies i cannot see why this would not out sell mw2

cheez4Posted:

completely agree.. THIS guy right here will NOT be buying it cause of WAW and MW2,.. i could go on all day about it but i wont.. yeah WAW was a good game but cod4 to WAW just didn't cut it..

I expect it too be a great game. Hopefully no where close to MW2's overpowering multiplayer. This game will be big and will stay fun if it is well balanced like WAW and COD4 was.

Could come close?! Blockbuster!? My god, MW2 was awful and Treyarch has to pay for that. MW2 put many people off of CoD.
Infinity Ward talent? They're complete slackers charging us over 10 quid for 3 new maps.
