The point is, this game would sell millions on ps360. This is a failure in judgement on the behalf of ea.

Welcome to how Wii owners have felt about Resident Evil 5, Modern Warfare 1 + 2,  GTA IV, Assassin's Creed, Fallout 3, Elder Scrolls 4, Left 4 Dead, etc...

 

Well, the extent of those experiences just aren't possible on the wii. Wii does have gimped MW games, and they didn't sell as much as the HD ones. That is because the capability isn't the same. NBA Jam is completely possible on the HD twins. Additionally, even a port of NBA Jam Wii on the HD consoles would probably have better online capability. Online isn't everything, but even a port would probably make the wii version look gimped. No offense intended to anyone. I'm just pointing out that the argument isn't quite the same.

 

Wrong, MW: Reflex has worse graphics but the campaing is as fun as in the HD versions (or more because of the gameplay but it will depend of your opinion and taste). Some people doesn't care about HD graphics.

But they sold 1 million, right? It's enough for a big profit (talking about a Wii game). If it's giving a profit, it doesn't matter if a COD game on the Wii won't sell as much as the HD versions. I think you are hurting your first argument:

"However, there are a lot of games that could be ported to the HD systems at a low cost which could make a very tidy profit."

 

No, it boosts my argument. NBA Jam could possibly be ported even more easily and make a shit-ton of cash on top of it.

Additionally, Wii does have COD and resident evil games. My point is that some of those games are great and desirable because of what they are capable of. Fallout and Elder scrolls are simply not possible unless scaled back drastically. Same goes with RE5 and GTA. However, Wii has gotten a new GTA, a new RE, and two Call of Duty's. They just look different because of the capability limit.

However, there would be no capability limit for this game, which I feel, would stand to sell at least 4M on both ps360.
