Call of Duty is still ridiculously popular. Â Despite sharing very little about what’s next for the franchise with Call of Duty: Ghosts, fans are interested about what comes next for the series. Â According to analysts, pre-orders for the upcoming shooter are still outpacing everything else, and it looks like Ghosts will once again be the top selling game in 2013.
This holiday season will be a crowded one. Â Next-generation consoles, Grand Theft Auto V, Watch Dogs, a new Battlefield game, and a host of other big name franchises will arrive at market. Â Though Cowen & Co. believe that Call of Duty: Ghosts will best them all.
According to their research, which is derived from using NPD data and the Amazon best sellers list, Â Call of Duty: Ghosts has a healthy lead on all the aforementioned titles. Â Grand Theft Auto V seems like the likely candidate to unseat Call of Duty as the sales champion, Â it’s actually Watch Dogs that’s running a close second to the shooter.
Neither Activision nor Infinity Ward have even begun to detail the most popular part of Call of Duty: Ghosts. Â We’ve seen some tech demos and single player footage from the shooter, but the real draw in its multiplayer component, has yet to be revealed. Â Though it doesn’t seem to be prohibiting fans from plunking down their cash for the shooter, multiplayer for Call of Duty: Ghosts should be revealed sometime in August.
