I wasn't insinuating anything about you, nor did I mention anything about you. I also didn't mention anything about sales. All Call of Duty titles on the Wii have each sold over a million copies, I think people buy Call of Duty games because of the name itself. I know splitscreen is a selling point for Wii games, but it has never been a selling point for a Call of Duty game, and that goes for every console. It's just very difficult to get splitscreen to work on the Wii without having to cut even more crucial things out, like they did in World at War. World at War was missing an entire level from the campaign, and truthfully only had two modes. Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch. When I said it's "disappointing," I meant that in a very sympathetic and apologetic manner to Wii owners because you guys miss out on stuff, and your sales get a little crippled. I was saying that to everyone, not just to you. No matter what, Call of Duty on the Wii has always sold well over one million units, so it's performing damn well without splitscreen, and turning quite a profit for Activision. No offense, but people who always want splitscreen kind of are in the minority. Go to a Playstation or Xbox forum and very rarely will you find somebody clamoring for splitscreen multiplayer in a video game. They care mostly about single player online multiplayer games. Again, I was in no way trying to offend you, hell, I was hardly speaking directly to you, I was generalizing for everyone.

How do you know it has never been? Has there been a representative sample of buyers contacted and determing that split screen was not one of the determining factor in purchasing it? Or is there just an assumption that graphics and pyshics sell these games, with the correlation=causation fallacy, and that's why they are given priority?
And selling a million copies is of course good. But getting split screen would have been a big step in getting the series closer to what the HD systems have.
