Okay, I understand. That's why Activision is doing more marketing now for CoD on the Wii than on the other systems, since the userbase is there.

Yep, pretty much they are also investing in the future success on that platform with the real deal COD MW 2 (WoW, so acronymy) I would predict that the next installment will sell heavily or close to parity with the Xbox 360 version. If a game like Halo 3/COD IV sells heavily its because it has a wide appeal, therefore they should do well on the Wii.

So yes, the real deal shooter on the Wii at this point that I am aware of is likely to be... COD! Congratulations, as of this moment its the top shooter franchise in the world.

 

 

 

Personnaly I think it would have been smarter for Activision to release COD4 in it's original state(no removing or addition of mode, same online ect.) on the Wii this holiday season. COD4 is the game that propulsed the franchise to new high so there must be something about it that put it above the others in the serie. That and if you release COD MW2 the next holiday season it would help it sale to have the prequel released for the same system for it to build an userbase there.

Still I agree that it's a smart move from Activision, though it's not like they would have had a lot of competion anyway as all the other big shooter franchise seem to be exclusive to the PS3 or 360.
