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.

what is is saying is not out of the realm of reality, but the only way to verify would be to... say right now PS2 + Wii version has sold about 20% of what HD version has. If the cost to port the Game to the PS2Wii is less than 20% (ballpark number of course) than for ever dollar spent the Wii version has returned more profit. This would be called the IRR. So it is very possible (depending on the cost to port it to the Wii) that the Wii's IRR is better than the HD version. I think by the time both these game stop selling it will be a bit higher (%'s can work wonder huh)

You see last week the Wii/PS2 sold 37% of what the HD versions did. That number will continue to grow.
