"1.Crysis vs Cod is a bad example first because COD is an established franchise Crysis was unknown and it was just for PC where piracy is an issue infact Crysis and MW2 sold pretty similar on PC both have 1-2 Millions on PC. And the difference is not that big the difference between crysis and MW2 is tiny compared to the difference to MW2 and Cod games on wii. Both are actually the same market."
The point was that the flashiest games were not the big sellers. Of course there are other reasons involved, but since the idea for supporting the HD systems is that flashier games are better, then being flashy must be a selling point, and it isn't.
And Call of Duty didn't have the same release setup as on the HD systems. If Modern Warfare had been buried in hype and marketing on the HD systems as it was on the Wii it would not have been the breakthrough for the series.
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
