If the videogame industry is going to rebound from its decline in software sales, publishers will need to look at monetizing online multiplayer, said Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter in his latest investor report.
Pachter believes one of the main reasons software sales for PS3 and Xbox 360 are down year-over-year is due to gamers continuing to log substantial hours into a handful of online games and not picking up new titles regularly.
"We estimate that a total of 12 million consumers are playing Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 for an average of 10 hours per week on the two platforms' respective networks, and the continued enjoyment of this game (along with an estimated 6 million Halo online players, 3 million EA Sports players, and 5 million players playing other games, such as Battlefield, Red Dead Redemption, Left 4 Dead and Grand Theft Auto) has sucked the available time away from what otherwise would be spent playing newly purchased games," he said.
Pachter also noted that Activision needs to make the first move with multiplayer charges, and expects we could see something with Call of Duty: Black Ops, set for release this November.
"We think that it is incumbent upon Activision, with the most popular multiplayer game, to take the first step to address monetization of multiplayer," said Pachter. "It is too early to tell whether that will be a monthly subscription, tournament entry fees, microtransaction fees, or a combination of all three, but we expect to see the company take some action by year-end, when Call of Duty Black Ops launches."
Pachter says he expects the publisher will apply a World of Warcraft-like business model to its Call of Duty franchise. Activision will likely continue to offer some form a free multiplayer for awhile, he says, but notes that it's imperative the company capitalizes on the estimated 4 billion hours of time spent online since the launch of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 on Xbox Live and PlayStation Network.
"We are quick to point out that the average single player game has an expected play time of under 30 hours, suggesting that a staggering 133 million units of equivalent game play have been spent (so far) playing Call of Duty online, with Activision only seeing revenues from the original 20 million units sold, plus an estimated 8 million map packs sold," he added.
Activision hasn't been shy in the past about its intentions for some of its key franchises. The publisher has said several times it's looking at new online business models for Call of Duty and Guitar Hero.
In a recent interview, Activision CEO Bobby Kotick also made his displeasure known over closed online networks such as Xbox Live.
"We've heard that 60 per cent of [Microsoft's] subscribers are principally on Live because of Call of Duty," said Kotick. "We don't really participate financially in that income stream. We would really like to be able to provide much more value to those millions of players playing on Live, but it's not our network."

yeah..i wont be buying a subscription to play multiplayer call of duty....jesus christ lets see how this works out
pay for the internet, some pay for LIVE on top of that...next pay for the subscription to play multiplayer functions online....to some that can get quite pricey for recreation time
i dont think multiplayer is hurting sales of other games...i still go and buy other games...however most games dont focus on long term, they want your money now not later....most games are short even MW2 single player was.....without multiplayer i dont think i would even bother with that game....
heres a tip to the gaming industry...make a quality lasting product and you might see an improvement but fact is most games suck and only a select few per year are great....i still play assassins creed 2...i still play god of war 3.....red dead redemption etc.....i dont have many games for my ps3 but when you figure 20 games and of those 5 or 6 were great and still have replay value or multiplayer...i mean christ what the hell am i supposed to do with HEAVY RAIN??? i platinum'd that....now what??? that game has no online support....awesome game but literally no replay value and this statement can be found in many many more games
i hope we as gamers take a stand against this...if not how much further will they take it?

Yea i think the whole plan is bullshit! I think its funny how activision talks bout how they don't make money off of online!?!? HELLO? What about the 8 million map packs they sold for $15 a pop, cryin bout how they aint makin money off of online! GTFO! I pay for internet, i pay for online, i pay for xbox live, i buy the game and i even pay $15 for these stupid ass map packs and now they wanna do a subscription fee?? Fuck that! I draw the line there and i hope everyone else does the same until there lil scheme backfires and fails! I'm wondering if i should even put in a pre-order for black-ops now?
Fuck, just read that other shit... Now im kinda worried that there gonna make LIVE like a homepage type thing (which the dashboard is) but that now we will have to subscribe to each of the games we wanna play on live as well.. What the fuck dude. They better cut the cost on LIVE then or get rid of it altogether. Isnt the PSN like that? its free right?
And on the other topic earlier in this thread maaaan I cant smoke at all and play video games.. I got blasted and me and my boy were playin Through the Fire And The Flames on Guitar Hero and I swoee to god I was fucking beasting. We felt like we were set on God Mode then our this came up at the end of the song and was like ... 18% and shit.. I was like WTF... Same goes for Halo and COD, I smoke any amount and my game suffers hardcore

from what im reading and hearing people say, there will be a code that unlocks the online for free when u buy the game. it will just dick people who rent the game or buy it used. i buy all my games new so i wnt suffer but i understand people only wanting to rent getting pissed off for sure. i heard nhl 10 and college football 11 were both like this
