You know, CoD isn't your typical day 1 purchase title. I would assume that it will sell a bunch during christmas, so don't fret just yet.

It's amazing all these Wii games that aren't day 1 purchases...

It seems that it's the natural system of damage control by Wii fans.

I just don't "get" how Super Smash Brothers Brawl can sell 2.8 million copies in one week. Mario Kart Wii can sell 2.4 million copies in a week, and even Wii Fit can sell 1.6 million units at $99.99 each in a week, yet games like Madden 09, and Call of Duty 5 do very horrible and are labled "games that aren't Day-1 purchases". What kind of bizarro world is this?

Wii fans CAN buy massive amounts of copies on day-1. Problem is, they seem to need to be either family/casual games, or games under the Nintendo umbrella.
