I had no idea call of duty was such a big deal. It’s not my jam so I never notice it.
GRAND THEFT POKEMON OF DUTY

I was thinking the same thing. I’ve never played a single one or even seen gameplay footage of them. Who is playing these games? I assumed they were just generic shooters.

This is why Sony was making such a big deal about Call of Duty during the discussions about Microsoft acquiring Activision (owners of the Call of Duty franchise).

When you see that Call of Duty has been the best selling game nearly every year recently, you can understand Sony’s plea.
