Activision need IW more than IW needs Activision, seriously doubt Activision would piss off IW for an extra million or 2 sales.

Activision = Call of Duty IP, World of Warcraft IP, Guitar Hero IP and more.

IW = No owned IPs.

So what ?

Call of Duty franchise will go down after a while if IW leaves and the next IW game (whatever they call it) will be critically acclaimed and successful like CoD4 was in 2007.

Despite a potential drop in CoD quality, how exactly does that mean Activision needs IW more than IW needs activision?

Isn't CoD:WaW on a higher sales curve than CoD:MW?

 

Besides, Activision owns IW so it's not like IW can pack up and leave.

No only the launch was, but now the 360 version is already below CoD4 and the PS3 version will follow in the next ~2 months.

Of course Activision owns IW, but that doesn't mean they can treat them like dirt. Every publisher should have respect to their developement teams and even more when they make such fantastic and successful games.

X360 sales have reached parity though we have no idea how long it will take for PS3 sales to drop to MW levels and you neglect to mention the included Wii sales themselves.

Why would it be considered treating them like dirt to commission your development team to work on a project?  Tha tis after all their purpose?  If you're suggesting it would be against their will, then perhaps you need to read more of my previous posts.
