MWR: the core market didnt shift

ive said this elsewhere, but the sales of this game considering its diabilities lead to one massive question...

if it has sold this well, 600,000 in 8 weeks, when its 2 years late withough ads and without a big brother stealing its limelight...

how well would it have sold if it were released 2 years ago? (before all the wii core supposedely left for a HD model)

and another question...if it were released 2 years ago, and instead we got mw2 now instead of mwr...how well would that have sold?

because if mrw has sold like 600000 in 8 weeks, surely releasing it 2 years ago would have at least doubled  or tripled sales, and releasing mw2 would also surely be double this 2 year old port

This game sales are riding on the MW2 sales and huge push everything CoD related is getting from Activision's marketing efforts ( even if Reflex itself got no adds, CoD has a lot of visibility right now esp thanks to that 150 million$ marketing campaign).

The franchise wasn't nearly so big 2 years ago...
