Did I just read that someone claims that this is just a "STFU" to Wii gamers with no intent on profit?
If this rates higher than a 2 on the 1-10 seriousness scale then you have reached ultimate face palm status. |
It was sort of a 1.5. Am I good?

I can tell you were being facetious but BMaker11 semed to believe it fully.
As for your profit comment though, how can they not profit from it? The game engine is already developed, marketing won't take as much, source material is already there, etc.... Being a port the staff will be smaller than a full game, development time is shorter, and more.
Profit will come with just a few hunderd thousand sales because so much has already been amortized and/or reduced in terms of cost.

Well, certainly, they would profit, but they'd profit a lot more from releasing Modern Warfare 2 as a full game, because it would sell more.

Do you mean on Wii?
Quite certain that they'd profit more from MW2 on Wii as it would ride the wave from the HD consoles. But best not to put the cart before the horse. By releasing MW they can build an actual fan base for MW2 on Wii when that comes down the pipeline (obviously it's coming at some point). I get the feeling that MW2 will hit Wii not long after MW does. You could consider the release of MW as the left hook that sets up the uppercut; MW2.
