so.

The only part of Activision that truly cared about the Wii was Treyarch (and maybe, MAYBE, Vicarious Visions)

Why the qualifier re: VV?

Because they haven't been consistent enough to make the call, and most of their Wii games were cases where they were the secondary developer assigned the Wii version. Oh, and because Vicarious Visions are primarily a handheld game developer - they specialised in GBA in Gen 6, and in DS in Gen 7.

Treyarch made it a point to make every one of their games for the Wii (Wii U in the case of BO2) as well as the 360 and PS3, despite Activision clearly not giving two hoots about it, and even made it a point to port over the games by Infinity Ward - in other words, Treyarch released more games for the Wii than they did for PS3 or 360. And it was all done in-studio - they didn't hand it to some secondary studio at any point.

Thats just it though, for the longest time Treyarch WAS the secondary studio. Thats why the HAD to port the games to Wii, cause Acti didnt want to wast the time of their Golden boys (IW) Lets not act that Treyarch is doing anything out of the goodness of their hearts its a business, when Acti tells them jump they say how high. They didnt have anywhere near the prestige and popularity of IW. COD3 was horrid, WaW was better still no where near as popular as 4, they didnt break big till Black Ops, so they made two popular games versus IW's four. NOW they are big boys, but i still think they are being told to make a wii game. I read an article stating that they really didnt put much time in the Wii version and LOL at it being just as good. DLC alone makes this not true.
