The game would have to cost tens of millions to not have made a profit. Even the ads are not numerous enough to have exceeded that.

I don't think it has lost Activision money, but it's ludricrious to think that the Wii version has made more profit than the PS3 version.

@ averyblund

Not necessarily. Red Steel cost more than Gears of War to make.

 

 

Of course it didn't, but you're missing what's important: profit/investment. The investment in CoD on Wii was much lower than that on the HD consoles. So, it may have a similar ratio of profit to investment.

 

Take off the fanboy goggles for a second. Over 7 mil HD sales made similar profit to 0.87 mil wii sales only in a fanboy's dream.
