Talk about successful. In an industry driven by sales numbers, Infinity Ward's premier shooter, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, has now sold over 10 million units world-wide. While those numbers are undoubtedly impressive (according to IW only 10 games since 2000 have sold so well) they are for all platforms and IW doesn't know the exact numbers for the individual SKU's, though they did note that the game had been the most successful on 360 and that they hope to sell even more copies of the game this winter ....With such excellent sales what are the odds that we won't see COD5 until spring 2009? Would COD4 be enough of a mainstay shooter to keep you satisfied for the rest of the year if Activision decides to ride out the long tail of the fourth game's sales?
[Thanks Jonah]

With IW doing their contest for user made maps... & say they release 5 or 6 of those for free, later this Summer, and then release another official DLC pack for $ and release 4 more maps this Fall/Winter... I don't need a stinkin COD5, especially if it is set in WW2. COD4 has plenty of legs as long as they give us more maps, and perhaps CTF. And with all the money they made on the first DLC for COD4... we'lll be seeing some more premium DLC from IW, you can bet on that.

So if they said they are hoping to sell even more copies around christmas, that could possibly mean more DLC to promote sales around said time could it not? I smell rumormill

I liked COD3, it had it's problems but graphically it was pretty darn awesome looking. If they look hard at how COD4 was done and stick to there formula I think we will have a game that looks as good if not better than any other game made for the 360 plus awesome gameplay to boot.

COD4 has to be one of the most frustrating games ever made at times; for example, someone not dying from me repeatedly stabbing them when their back is turned, then the same guy turning around and stabbing air from 20 feet away and killing me.
