Dispelling the myth that Wii did not move software

I mean, comparing CoD3 Wii version to PS3 version is kind of unfair, considering the PS3's abysmal launch. PS3 more than made up for it later on, with CoD titles selling 10 + million on PS3, while Wii versions eventually stopped due to lack of people purchasing them.

It also worth noting that was the Wii's peak. While future CoD games declined on Wii, the PS3 saw a massive increase.

Wii fans focus on a few games that sold well. Yet neglect how modest those numbers are when compared to 360 and PS3 in the long run.

Wii did not receive Call of Duty 4, which is the title that blew up into the Call of Duty franchise up into the phenomenom we have today.  What Wii got was Modern Warfare:  Reflex Edition a full 2 years later, which still sold respectably despite not being part of the explosion of the franchise two years earlier.  Who knows what Call of Duty 4 would have sold on Wii if it had been part of that wave.  I can't say it would have been 10 million units anymore than you could prove it would be less than the 3 million plus Call of Duty 3 sold.
