Truth
We don't buy bf3 because of the name. We look at the content and features of the game. The name Battlefield only ensures us that the game is going to be great because of its great reputation. Battlefield has kicked ass every single time it came out. Bf 1942 was revolutionary.
BF has always been in the shadows of other shooters. Counter-strike, then Halo, then COD.

reputation = a whole new system cod4 brought
killstreaks
perks
attachment system
and thats how it got on the map as THE shooter to play
so it became the standard
so as the standard comes out with new versions every year it was the standard thing to have up to date
like an iphone for example
They also brought great gun mechanics, smooth gameplay, great matchmaking system, etc. They did a lot of things right. MW3 is an improvement over COD4. But if you really want to be ignorant, which it seems you do, I could use every point you made against BF and say people are just buying BF3 because of the reputation BF1942 started.
And it'll be the standard shooter until another game makes the same splash that COD4 did. Blame CODs success on the other devs who haven't made a better game that appeals to such a wide audience.

1) cod came out late 90s/early 2000s. They were always fun games. Cod finest hour was great. People bought mw1 because it was the first high def/next gen cod
2) if you remember cod didn't sell as good when it first hit the stores, it sold by word of mouth. Then the next year mw2 came out and it sold purely on hype. Although I gotta say mw2 was the best cod to date it wasn't nearly as good as bc2
COD1 came out after BF1942. Late 90s? Are you serious?
@bold: ARE YOU SERIOUS?
Ya, MW1 sold because everybody fucking loved it.
MW2 didn't come out the next year... and it sold because people fucking love that series. They continue to make it the most played game. People play it the most every day, every week, every month, and every year. If the community hated the game they wouldn't put it at #1 (with previous entries taking up other spots in the top 10).
