Given that it's sold a fraction on double the user base it's not really that brag worthy. All this shows is that the audience for this kind of game is drastically smaller than on the other consoles, and the % of wii owners interested in this sort of game is even more drastic compared to the other consoles.

An audience exists? Yes, but if the team that made WAW on wii had instead been split up and put making two much cheaper family party games would they have profited more? I think that is the real question the publishers will be looking at.

Although true in a lot of ways, I think we forget the Wii versions missed out on COD4.  Before this the console versions were only selling about 1-2 million lifetime.  COD4 was the first one to actually change that. 

I think if Wii was able to jump with those increases by having a COD4 that it WaW would be selling even better.  Possibly us talking about it crossing 2 million right now. 

Of course that's a big what if but I think it plays into it.

 

 

And compare CoD3 sales on the Wii and PS3. Very close. The 360 version sold more, but it had 2. The other systems didn't.
