Not sure about 2 mil. All I really care about is there being a COD:MW2 on Wii with more stuff.

 

I really think the only reason the first Modern Warfare wasn't on there was because they thought COD3 sold badly.  And if you look at its sales early on it didn't come out specatacularly but over time it sold better and better.  That's when they realized well COD can sell on the Wii.  I think a lot of devs have had this happen to them.  Just some Wii games have long selling cycles, sometimes selling better in the last 6 months compared to the first 6 months. 

So I wouldn't doubt Modern Warfare 2 being on the Wii although, technically, I doubt Activision needs sales from the Wii version if they didn't want to spend money developing for it.  Sales on the PC, 360, and PS3 would be good enough for them.  Then again, like with Guitar Hero, they have opportunities to make a it a big franchise on another platform so it's this contending risks they have to go over.  WaW though seems to be selling well for them so I'm sure they'll go with the latter to expand it further on the base.  All that advertising for the Wii version of WaW doesn't seem to be in vein for them and I doubt they'll stop there.

 

 cod3 wii actually sold better in 08 than cod3 on either HD console (I think, numbers are sketchy on that game)

edit, ok I was wrong, look it up

Wii COD3 sold 170k in 08, 360 sold 275k.

But the Wii version did outsell the PS3 version.



End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)

Wii- 72 million   3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases

360- 37 million   Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak

PS3- 29 million  Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut
