It's likely because CoD has replaced Battlefield, Halo and Medal of Honour for the "MLG" charts, as well as taking over the role The Sims had for introducing people to gaming, adding onto the fact that CoD is one of the simplest series to learn, and each game is interchangeable.

And @Damac: It's possible that MM would enjoy the future games, but is left with a sour taste in his mouth because the series is getting long and blander. I can't speak for MM himself, but it's a suggestion.

I'm sure everybody who "still" likes Sonic and Mario has a similar feeling, it wouldn't surprise me if CoD became another inhabitant of the bin Sonic and Mario threw themselves in to because of it's constant "new" games, overexposure and desperate attempts and reinventing something which went stale far too long ago.
