Which really that didn't happen until MW1 came along anyway. Before that what were people murdering each other in? Halo mostly.
Oh but you can kill it, or dilute the brand, while WaW sold well, it was vastly outsold by the original MW and of course MW 2, and I suspect the same with CoD this year.

My guess is that with the alternating years and multiple titles per year, it won't sell gangbusters, and may eventually reach GH status, where people wonder why need to buy it every year.
