Why are people using Call of Duty: World at War as a barometer for how FPS games will sell on the Wii. It makes no sense. Do you guys think that core Wii gamers are unintelligent and do not know about IGN, 1up, Gamespy, or Gamespot. You are wrong. Core gamers know what games are good and which are not. No core gamer on the Wii wants to buy a gimped version of a game. If Activision wanted Call of Duty: World at War to sell well on the Wii then they would have made sure that it had all the modes that the other games had. But since it did not, I do not feel ashamed that the game did not sell well. It did not deserve to sell well nor should Activision be rewarded for their lack of effort. If Activision uses Call of Duty: World at War sales as a reason to stop developing Call of Duty games for the Wii. That is fine. There efforts have been so poor thus far that they will not be missed.

I agree.  I think the Conduit would be a better game to guage the FPS market on Wii - it's built from the ground up on the platform and won't have a superior sku on the HD systems to compete with. 

With that said, I expect CoD:WaW Wii to have legs and do well.  At least 300k in the Americas.  That alone would make porting the engine worth it and provide a decent enough return to fund of CoD6 for Wii. 

This game is in no way a bomb the same way Resistance 2 is a bomb on the PS3.

 

AND... THAT... Do everyone here thinks that a one game can change everyting. Even how good HVS a developer what HVS really wants is a name and recognition and its the Wii is their target because of Wii's lack of FPS. Do people thinks that this is a breakthrough game if somehow this game will be on HD consoles? SURE, it will be a awesome game but its worth the wait even there are good FPS comes along like COD WAW? Well it isnt.

Do all really thinks here theres somehow a CTF, Search and Destroy, zombie mode, etc... will be on this game that the COD WAW Wii lacks of? Atleast it have 16 players online right? And it have very good graphics :/
