From what stance is Call of Duty crap exactly? Each consecutive release breaks the sale record of the previous, which in turn had already broke the sales records of all competition, and that stance is the one that matters here, not the "Call of Duty 4's engine getting reworked again this year guys" rant stance.

The Modern warfare side is cod 4 with another "Russia is bad, m'kay" campaign and horribly "Balanced" gameplay, the black ops side is cod WaW with "This story gets more and more desperate as it goes, future, yeah!" story and zombies which is now very sub par when compared to COD WaW.
Essentially the sales record comes from kids who see their friends playing it then asking their parents to buy it each year, even though it's the same as last time.
Also in regards to Blizz; diablo 3.

I know this, omitted it from my post for two obvious reasons:
Dhampy referred the financial aspect of this ordeal, to which it is irrelevant whether the sales record comes from Vietnam War veterans, mentally handicapped Panamanians or kids who their friends playing it then asking their parents to buy it each year.
Second reason being it seemed fairly obvious that those kids are indeed the people who buy them.
It won't trick people forever. And what else does Blizacti have? A RTS franchise that they turned into an MMO which is dying.
They are incapable of innovation, and therefore cannot live on their own. Within the next three years, they'll sell themselves back, or find a new rich parent to finance them.

KeSPA is not dying anytime soon from that RTS series

I was not referring to Starcraft. That series represents something like less than 1% of Bliztavision's revenue, not particularly relevant outside of SK.
