Call of Duty Modern Warfare 1 & 3, Black Ops, and World at War ran on the Wii despite the Wii having 88MB of RAM to the PS3/360's 512MB.

i don't think call of duty was a good example modern warfare 3 on wii got poor reviews


We are not talking about quality of games but their portability to other systems with less power/resources.

oh in that case call of duty is still a bad example


Pretty much this, i dont know what magically version that some people are playing on WIi, but those games generally ran like crap on Wii. And thats even more troubling considering that COD games have never really pushed either ps360 hardware much, what about stuff like Crysis. What i think is going to happen is quite simple, the WIi u might just miss out on a lot of games just like the Wii did before it.

World at War and Modern Warfare 3 on Wii ran pretty well, actually. They weren't silky smooth, but they were playable just fine.

And most PS4 games won't push its hardware either. 

Like i said you either played some magical version or just have low expectations. Ive played those and there was slow, textures were messed up, pop in. and that was just SP mode. Online didnt run at 30FPS, there was input delay. All kinds of crap. You dont know what PS4 will or wont do. One could say ps3 games didnt the hardware either, but there are alot of games on the system that just couldnt be done on Wii.

From what I read, the Wii games were locked in at 30FPS in general, which is already at half the trademark 60FPS that the series is known for. It is essentially what makes COD...COD. This frame rate unfortunately would dip below even 30 FPS when playing online and network issues were abound. Yes the games were possible on the Wii but not without the gameplay taking a major hit with the frame rate/network issues and graphics being greatly dumbed down.

I think that's the reason many devs didn't even bother porting at some point because after the games have been dumbed down so much, they almost become unplayable and not just bad to look at.
