| Squilliam said: They will not release it on the Wii themselves if they feel that it will impact the quality of their work on the Xbox 360/PC/PS3 versions. If Infinity Ward don't like the Wii the are in a powerful enough position to not develop on the platform. Keeping the developer happy is better for Activision long term than even a few million sales on the Wii. Its quite likely that Treyarch will handle the port to the Wii. |
Won't be Treyarch. Are you familiar with the new COD development schedule? The series will alternate each year between the two developers: Treyarch and Infinity Ward. Each developer will have ~2 years to work on the games.
Treyarch started work on CoD: WaW in early 2007 for a late 2008 release.
Infiinty Ward started work on CoD: MW2 in late 2007 for a late 2009 release.
Tryearch will begin work on CoD 7 sometime this month or next.
Infinity Ward will begin work on CoD 8 in late 2009/early 2010.
And so on....
As you can see, Treyarch already has their hands full in 2009 and can't make CoD: MW2 for Wii.

And you know this how? Sounds like you're just assuming something with no real idea. Activision calls the shots. That's kinda how publishing works. Publishers hire a developer to develop their IP for them. Because the publisher owns the IP and pays the money, the developers work on their terms which includes which platforms it appears on (though it can be subcontracted to other studios if the publisher agrees the many developer doesn't have the time or resources for it like what happened with Quantum of Solace) and any TRC's they demand.
