Analysts predict Call of Duty will once again dominate in 2012

Call of Duty to account for more than a quarter of game related revenue in 2012?

According to new research by financial analyst, Baird Equity Research, Call of Duty will once again dominate the video game industry in 2012. The company which analyzes market trends and company bottom-lines, believes that not only will the game dominate the year, but alongside a possible Grand Theft Auto release, will capture nearly 25% of all game related revenues.

The firm had been weighing EA's chances in the coming year in regards to its on-going fight with Activision for market dominance. According to Eurogamer, Colin Sebastian, an analyst for Baird Research is "skeptical that EA will be able to show growth in its console segment".

This analysis comes on the heels of competing firm, Wedbush Securities claiming that recent Old Republic concerns surrounding Electronic Arts were "overblown". It is rumored that Treyarch, who's next in-line to make a Call of Duty game, is working on the sequel to 2010's Call of Duty: Black Ops.

CoD will only dominate because of all the stupid 12 year olds. Or the fact that the Gaming Industry is running out of ideas…..

Well duh but this year we wont be fulled im pretty sure bitch ops 2 wont sell nowear near as fast and much as the first one,unless they completelumy change everything

Cod will rule every year its ashame because cod needs a enemy so it can get pushed or atleast brake a sweat,last year bf3 tried but failed,this year i dont see any game comin close

  yet again the 8 year old trolls only contribution to any article is the cod bf war, imo it was black ops that innovated the most out of the cod games even though it was still only some tweaks and ranking system since the 4th then mw3 comes in and brings you gus back into mw2, there are plenty of other great games besides battlefield that has been released for the past 5 years and activision dosen’t care about innovation when fanhoes like you enjoy riding the same dick since modern warfare.
Cool dude

GTAV and Halo 4??? I dun think so
