The Wii game I gave you was Just Dance. Again I ask you how much time and money went into that title and whether it would be just more profitable money waise to make fast cheap games which sell for about a million than spend long periods of time and wasting hundreds of millions. My guess is that it's the former. Also SEGA posted losses not because of the Olympic Games, infact that's why they broke even, but probably because of their HD games.

Many many companies have made a subscription based game. Aion, Warhammer, EVE, Everquest 2, Lineage 2. Yet Blizzard manages to make money... wonder why that is?

I'm also willing to bet you that the L4D2 sold more on the PC than it did on the 360. In factjust after release (and keep in mind PC sales aren't frontloaded) they annonced they ahd sold over 2 million compies, only about 900k of them were on the 360. That's even without the fact that PC games sell for years and years (starcraft  only sold 1 mil in its first year, it's over 10 mil now).

By the way all those games you mention haven't been pirated much either.
How come ?

They are that good, or is it that server/subscription based games are mostly pirate proof ?  

They re obviously not pirate proof, also weren't you the one telling me how companies were sending out desist orders to pirated servers? Obviously hey aren't pirate proof  if that happens. The other games are't bad... just not as good as WoW, thus not worth the timesink.

You are still dodging the L4D2 and piracy question. How is it that it has not been pirated so much?
