Less than half of the people I know that play games in general play COD, even less of a % on XBL. I don't think MW2 is a very good starting point for people to join a competitive shooter where people will already dominate, whereas I think WAW was simply because zombies etc could get people into the game online when people haven't played much before. But still. I think if borderlands sells well, it will remain popular through the holidays, and boom a second time with xmas, and if there is a big enough player base, and DLC it will be a long staying game that isn't strictly FPS with new map packs every couple months.
I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to try Borderlands. I'd probably buy it if I didn't just buy Fallout 3.
Still, Modern Warfare 2 is going dominate the online console gaming for a while.
