Well comparatively to the 360 and PS3 version they are quite low but I'd say its on better paces than that of MOHH2. And being a mainstream brand it should pick up as the holidays continue. Probably sold a decent bit already on Black Friday and considering now there's commercial marketing who knows haha.

I think the one disadvantage it had to MOHH2 is MOHH2 had the core backing fully similar to that of Zack and Wiki and No More Heroes. That allowed it without any significant marketing to do just find. However COD5 just doesn't seem to have that on Wii thus it's going to have to solely depend on its mainstream ability which hopefully the tiny bit of marketing can help.

 

pokes at zucas, errmh... Most MOH: H2 veterans and clans are switching to COD WAW already including WTzzz and the WT clan. The most popular clan on the Wii community, if you look at it its the other way around. COD WAW's core backing makes this game sell and the mainstream picks up the rest.

WT clan?  Man those guys suck.  Owned htem all in MOHH2.  Of course who didn't I own in that game.  Wish I was that dominant in WaW.

And I get what your saying but it has to do with exclusive and not exclusive.  Core backed MOHH2 fully because it wasn't on PS360 while the core on Wii now have the option of this and potentially one on 360/Ps3/PC.  So its hard to get the full core backing on a multiplatform title especially on Wii.
