"The next game will always outsell the previous" not too sure about that. MW2 had a cliffhanger in it's campaign, meaning that people, such as me, where much more excited about getting the next game as soon as possible. Black Ops was really over-hyped, and I don't think they'll be able to do that again after the lousy reception Black Ops got once it released, meaning that lot of people won't want the next Treyarch game, and alot of people just generally won't have the motivation they had to buy MW3 as soon as possible.

This is just a theory, but I believe the next Call of Duty won't sell as much as MW3 did.
