It is one of the more successful ones, yes. But I don't think the amount of sales on 1 console are enough to present a return profit that MS paid out for the exclusivity rights.

I mean AW actually sold less than Ghosts. It sold 2.6 Mil on X1 and 2.2 mil on 360. So that's about £45 per game on X1 and maybe about £30 per 360 game. And of course MS would only get a percentage of said profit. Now while this does mean both MS consoles sold 4.8 mil copies altogether, MW2 sold 4.6 mil copies on the 360 alone. And assuming CoD wants to leave the last-gen systems, then next-gen sales will likely not go up too much, as when it comes to CoD, while I think people like it, I don't think many care that much to buy a new console for it. (otherwise they would have done so for Ghosts).
