They just need to slow down. I know people who are put off buying each annual game because they know that it's going to be outdated within a year. All recent CoDs have lacked visible effort, and haven't been tested and analysed properly by the developers. My copy of BO2 has actually broken the BD drive on my PS3 - a lack of effort? Are Activision not spending as much time on the (slightly smaller) PS3 market as they are on Xbox? Games like Battlefield 3 are still being played after a year because it hasn't been outdated, and people are still buying it. Don't get me wrong, I love the franchise and I particularly enjoy BO2, but time hasn't been spent on it like Activision's been spending their money.
