EA has fomula to beat CoD Franchise.

His formula isn't really what you would expect.


What's the best way to beat a franchise that is already on the number one spot? To make a better game. But that's the formula that all game companies must take in order to stay competitive. Making anything less would mean sudden death for a game company which doesn't focus on the fun aspect of the game.

This is the way to do it: "Make a better game," EA CEO John Riccitiello said during an interview earlier this week in New York with Kotaku. "And make a better game again."

"If I had to pick the story I'd like to play out next year is we ship a 90 and they ship an 85," he said, referring to Metacritic scores, which he watches as a measure of game quality. "[Activision has] an awful lot of momentum without heir brand, no doubt. What I've witnessed a couple of times in the games industry is the way you unseat a market leader is you make a better game a couple of times in a row. "

CoD Modern Warfare 1 and 2 both had mid 90's score while Black Ops only scored 88. It seems that the best formula to beat all of Activision's games are to wait and let the company implode from the inside. Besides a few games most games that come out of Activision is pure garbage. EA has to take the time to polish it's games and offer a better product.
