I did a search for "bf3 vs cod sales" which pulled up the BF3 vs MW3 numbers. And from the couple of articles it shows how BF/Dice is progressively growing in the shooter market.
Just today I read an article that talked about why Activision cranks out a COD every year. It boiled down to the obvious: to meet customer demand. The gamers want a COD every year. Even if it is not that much changed. They have shown that they like that. They have shown it with their wallets. Makes me wonder if DICE will be pressured to pick up on that.
The fact that BF4 is looking like it will almost double it's grab of the shooter market this next release make me wonder if the opposite might happen where Activision will feel pressure to take more time to change/upgrade each new title instead.
The variable here is that this next release will focus on the next gen consoles and so such thought and idea may be moot due to the massive change in hardware and/or forced to the back burner for the same reason.
