They did; fast tracked it a bit too much actually; that sequel was 007 Legends, which was apparently awful due to being rushed out the door.

And COD evidently sold well enough on Wii that Activision kept releasing them year after year. That's the kind of sustainable support Switch could really use.

I'm just saying generally speaking companies don't dump a license like that with a recent success like that. 

VGChartz as much as I like the community, their sales tracking IMO is fairly dubious. It's a site basically run by fans, and while that's admirable, how really would they get detailed sales information "for free"? The vast majority of numbers here are basically guesses, there is no retailer that would give a non-industry website detailed sales tracking information up in that fashion (it's part of the reason why NPD can charge for their service). 

Again, they didn't; they fast tracked a sequel which subsequently flopped, after that they dumped it. Eurocom even said in an interview they were pleased with the sales of Goldeneye on Wii.

And if COD wasn't successful on Wii, Activision wouldn't have kept bringing them over year after year.
