Activision believes Call of Duty is “too big to fail” claims insider

Despite the series receiving plenty of constant complaints every single year with each successive entry, the Call of Duty franchise remains one of the biggest in gaming. That said, following years of little competition, EA’s Battlefield 6 is set to directly go head-to-head with COD. Perhaps somewhat unsurprisingly, decades of success has made Activision feel infallible, with insiders claiming that the publisher thinks COD is “too big to fail.”

As reported by known leaker Tom Henderson via Insider-Gaming, the higher-ups at Activision aren’t too concerned with the upcoming arrival of Battlefield 6 later this year, with sources telling the publication that Activision leadership believes that Call of Duty is “too big to fail” and as such are not worried about the upcoming Battlefield 6.

That said, according to Henderson Activision is “keeping a close eye on Battlefield” – though it seems as though they believe the upcoming Black Ops 7 will ultimately come out on top.

While much can be said about the hubris of those higher-up at Activision, Call of Duty does manage to top the best-sellers list every single year with very few exceptions.

Even ex-Battlefield devs themselves recently weighed in on the matter, revealing that the most successful BF entry saw around 30 million players – roughly equivalent to the much-maligned Call of Duty Vanguard.

Even so, there is no denying the current energy and excitement surrounding Battlefield 6. Whether this will allow for EA’s waning franchise to once again compete with COD, we will have to wait and see – but there is certainly an opportunity here.
