| yushire said: We knew its flopped, HD versions are 10 times sales better than the Wii version especially the 360. And it still continues selling, so WHY? Is it because Activision realized that theyre profiting more on the Wii version than in Ps3 and 360 versions? Thats whats happened with GTA IV and Bioshock with Take 2, even its million sellers they cant keep up to make a profit with those games. It seem we seen change with the third parties already. 3rd parties states huge losses because of the production and development cost of making HD games in PS360. I think soon many third parties will jump ship to the Wii because they cant stand making games anymore in HD consoles...

Are you asking why they're marketing the Wii version when it gets outsold so many times over? I think the second part answers the first part.
There's no way Activision could be profiting more from the Wii version than the other three versions. First of all, it;s built on an existing engine, while the Wii's was built for this game. Plus even if the Wii's version gives them more profit for every copy sold, it still isn't selling nearly enough to turn as much of a profit.
Regarding Bioshock and GTA IV, do you have some sort of link that says neither has made a profit? Something is telling me that somewhere along the lines, a game that has sold over 10 million copies will turn some sort of profit. I won't comment on Bioshock, but still, link please.
What is going to happen when Nintendo finally goes HD? It's still going to cost money to make these games, and plenty of it. If all developers do switch to Wii development, then what's going to happen down the line when Nintendo goes HD? Same scenario, they'll need to eat the bigger costs.
