It means I walk into EB games and find posters for PS3/360 version with a shelf full and stands that are devoted to the HD versions in the middle of the store but when I go to the Wii area I find 3 or 4 copies at the bottom :)

Thats because the HD version sell good,and on top of that it has the COD name on it!,That alone should sell people and with a 45 mill install base it should of been up there in no time.

 

 

 

Number one: CoD became massive after Modern Warfare (which Wii didn't have)

Number two: The HD versions sell well due to the above fact but also because they are pushed at retail far more than the Wii version.

Number three: The Wii version is gimped and everybody knows it, no proper co-op, no zombie mode, more limited online features.

Number four: It's a FPS, the target demographic is on the HD consoles.. The multi console owners would always get the non-gimped HD version. If it was Wii exclusive and had fixed all the above issues then it would have sold a lot more (not gimped, was an established brand on Wii and had the advertising the HD versions had)

1-CoD was huge before 4,4 just helped out alot.,Were not talking about 4 were talking bout WaW.

2.If the game did sell well then retails would put more games on shelfs,who wants a bunch of games sitting around collecting dust when the other HD versions are selling alot more.

3-I agree

4-I agree.
