@Zucas, The Wii userbase will be less starved by the time the Conduit comes out. COD 5 is more likely to appeal to a wider audience, its coming sooner and the potentual Wii audience for the Conduit would have already been satiated at least somewhat by COD 5.

This is probable but I think the Wii userbase... at least the ones that will be buying these kinds of games early on... will be well informed enough to know which is the superior experience which should allow the game to start off well. Mainstream always follow what's big so they'll catch on.

I mean for so long I tend to underestimate games and their sales so I think a little more optimism for a title is new for me meaning something has to be clicking with me. That or I'm insane.

 

Isn't that a pretty big assumption to make?

COD 5 has the cards laid out in a row for it.

• Well known I.P - With cross platform advertising worth 10s of millions.
• An engine which performs really well off the bat so they don't have to push things as hard or focus as hard on that aspect of development.
  
• A formula which has paid off big time for the premiere WW2 franchise at present.
• Something to prove, they need to justify their existance next to Infinity Ward

Something like that is hard to beat, the safe bet IMO is on COD 5.
