it'll be a huge knife in the backs of those thinking the Wii is "just for casuals."

Yeah at the moment its at 10% of 360 sales, 18% of PS3 sales and 7% of HD console sales (which means that a PS360 owner is 15 times more likely to pick it up than a Wii owner)

Earth-shattering success. I am sure soon all major games will be developed first for the Wii and later ported to PS3 and 360. If people want to play FPS they get a PC, 360 or PS3. Not only are the graphics much much better, but the online support is as well, which is critical.

And no I don't want to bash the Wii, its winning a huge share of the market, its better for playing together in front of the same TV, its better for smaller and new gamers. But seriously get real. People are not stupid and will not choose a Wii for playing something like World at War. Simply doesn't fit.

You are right except you missed one major point, most did not think this game would even sell 500k, even the people who were optimistic were saying 750k would be nice. The game will only sell a fraction of what the HD versions do, and in this case, a port, with lesser graphics, less levels, or lesser online, that is very impressive.

I think this more than anything proves there is a market for core (mainstream core) on the Wii, not that the Wii is there hotspot, but their is a market. This is important for those of us who while we like COD:WAW HD (the one I own) we also like the choice to try something different. This also raises the chance that future COD games will get even better Wii treatment, and who know, maybe they will start to throw in a few Wii extra to take advantage of the controls.
