I think that thhe whole "devs were blindsided by the Wii's success" thing is such a horrible excuse. Games like Call of Duty 4 or Burnout Paradise, which went into production after the PS3 came out beg to differ about developers not knowing about a systems success only doing shovelware.

Someone else can find out about Burnout, but you are absolutely incorrect about CoD4:

Conception for Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare started quite a while ago, as the core team here at Infinity Ward has wanted to make a Modern Warfare game for quite some time, with actual development starting on the game right off the heels of Call of Duty 2.

FYI, CoD2 was released Oct 2005 on PC and Nov 2005 on Xbox 360, so CoD4 development may have started even before the 360 launched.
