Will activision ever stop with the Call of Duty and Guitar Hero franchises, and come out with something new and original. I love them both to death, but three or four games from now, can't you see yourself getting kinda sick of the same games over and over again. Maybe not Guitar, because they can always add new songs, but sooner or later, unless there's a massive war with Russia, isn't Call of Duty going to run out of story options???
Will Activision ever stop with COD and Guitar Hero
Will EA ever stop with Madden and NFS?
Will Nintendo ever stop with Mario and Zelda?
Will Sega ever stop with Sonic?
Answer is no. Those games sell like hotcakes every year.

Sonic, Mario, and Zelda are different, because those are characters who get new journeys. There is a change in characters from game to game in COD, so there is no point (emotionally), to continue the plot. I just feel that sooner or later it might get a little old, story wise. It will always be fun as hell to run up to someone with a P-90 and blow them to Kingdom come.
idc for gh but why stop cod? its doing great. maybe if they did it less than one a year it would get even better but its still great titles
I doubt it, because to a company like activison or EA both for that matter, it doesn't matter how average the next game is from year to year(Cod can be eh, to great though, but GH is run into the ground) because they sell, and as long as people buy them, they'll keep putting them out.
Madden is different, because the rosters are updated every year.By this logic, as you adeptly noticed in your original post, then the Guitar Hero franchise is different as well, for Activision attains the licenses to new songs ever iteration.
If World At War is indicative of anything, the teams behind Call of Duty don't need "new stories" to generate a solid, marketable shooter.
Im thinking that the Guitar Hero Franchise will eventually die out, but I really don't see a need to end the CoD franchise. Most of its iterations have been at least good, and as long as they stop returning to the WW2 cycle, it will probably continue to be at least good, if not great.
They'll stop giving CoD numbers and give them subtitles to cover up the fact that you're actually playing Call of Duty 16.
"Will EA ever stop with Madden and NFS?What about Halo and Gears of War?
Will Nintendo ever stop with Mario and Zelda?
Will Sega ever stop with Sonic?
Answer is no. Those games sell like hotcakes every year."
You can't compare Activision to EA. For starters, the Call of Duty franchise has two developers, and if this annual trend continues, they will have double the time to create a new game then your yearly sports game or whatever. We're not going to see half done rehashed games every year from the Call of Duty franchise, they have enough time to create a decent game.
"Will EA ever stop with Madden and NFS?Madden and NFS comes out every year just like COD and GH.
Will Nintendo ever stop with Mario and Zelda?
Will Sega ever stop with Sonic?
Answer is no. Those games sell like hotcakes every year."
But Mario and Zelda as well as Sonic (actually not really sure on Sonic since I don't follow him anymore) comes out every couple of years. This is why I would be more inclined to pick up the next mario or zelda since its not as frequent.
