@bigjon: I think expections of the stores have more to do with it then expectations of activision. Sores base their inventory largely on preorders, and the problem is wii owners tends to do less preorders then 360/ps3 owners.

 

 yea, true. I am in no way implying that the Wii version's sales are even close to the HD versions, but I do think that it could be undertracked by about 50%... I know this is really unscientific... but the BB closest to me got 15 Wii versions, 50 PS3 versions, and 75 360 versions in their most recent restock. The Wii version is sold out but the other 2 are in good supply... right now ioi has CODWaW selling- 150k for the PS3 and only 28k for the Wii version (in NA)... He is tracking CoD:WaW behind Walle, Monopoly, We Ski and the Price is Right.................. I am sorry but none of those games are sold out anywhere, and I am pretty sure retailers did not order more Walle than CoD. I think that last Weeks CoD Wii sales were prolly around 70k which would be about 50% less than the PS3 version, and about 1/8 of the HD COD sales.

ok, to finally respond to you (lol talk about sidetracked) I think that Activsion set it expectations partially off retailer orders. Right now the game is selling MORE than retailer orders, that Cant be a bad thing.
