Those are great numbers for Reflex if true.

 

Mmm, i would be that sure about it, the Call of Duty on Wii is not that great, i know their second itineration might have hurt their sales, but 500K compared to the 1.5M the other releases had may seem too little.

 

I would call it great numbers if they top at least 1.0 million (which is unlikely)

Here's BioShock. A game that came out later on the PS3. I think something around 1 year later but I'm not totally sure. It sold 1/5th on the PS3.

Now consider MW:R came out 2 years later and was previously on 2 systems instead of just 1.

Now consider that there are less PS3 and 360 owners than Wii/HD owners, which means there's probably way more overlap.

Now consider Wii games are not pre-ordered and bought up right away, but instead keep selling forever and ever and ever.  After a nuclear holocaust all that's going to be left are cockroaches and people buying Mario Kart.

Given all of those elements, MW:R is doin fan-fucking-tastic.
