As has been noted in the news section -- Activision's upcoming releases on Wii are going to be few for the foreseeable future. 

But that got me thinking about what had Activision done so far this generation. I was amazed to see 85 titles listed:

What is more amazing is that almost all the sales have come from three mulitplatform series. If you remove Guitar Hero (III, World Tour, Aerosmith), Star Wars (Force Unleashed, Lego), and Call of Duty (3, WoW) -- Activision has not had a game sell 1M copies on the Wii.

Most of its releases where the Wii is the only platform from this generation (or only platform) have not fared well at sales. Barbie as the Island Princess with 430k and Dancing with the Stars: We Dance with 310k appear to be the only games that exceeded a quarter of a million units sold.

As an example of its futility, Activision has only moved 130k copies of iCarly.  (For those who don't know, iCarly is a widely watched TV show on Nickelodeon cable in the US about a girl who creates her own webshow and had a special draw 11.16M viewers in January -- making it the most watched show of the night as it beat all competition on cable and broadcast).

If you can't sell a game based on something as popular, you have problems.  And Activision has problems as it does not understand the Wii. See Pirates Booty and Big League Sports and Birthday Bash Science Papa and Block Party and Cruise Ship Vacation Games -- and you have to come away with that assessment.  

So many this is a good thing. No more generic mini-game collections passing for "exclusives."  Maybe Activision will give gamers what they want. But then again, Activision has not been Activision since it changed its name to Mediagenic.

seein as cod mwr is probobly the best game on the system i dont see too much wrong with activision.

what exactly are you wanting them to make for you?

Probably something Wii exclusive or Wii/DS exclusive, but not mediocre and/or trash.

Why did gonintendo say "there's not alot coming up"?

Here's the actual quote from the activision rep: “There’s a lot coming up, but it isn’t announced yet. I’m pretty sure you’ll be amazed by at least one specific title.”

The first part is the exact opposite of what gonintendo posted......

i dont mind if they just continue to release the good games they make on other systems, on the wii

activision doesnt realy have any properties to make a wii game tbh, maybe vigilante 88 or whatever?

all i want is for cods to get simultaneous release. due to the controls, i only want to cod on wii in the future.

I hate Activision for Science Papa. Not because it's a bad game or it's casual, because I have no idea what it plays like. I hate it for being a shameless attempt to capitalize on Cooking Mama, which is somebody else's star IP. That's the kind of lame copycat behavior I expect from tiny publishers struggling to survive in the budget market, not the largest third party publisher in the world.

Majesco's just a little guy, make your own damn IP and stop trying to take his lunch money.

Big name brands do well, no name shovelware flops. Seems like business as usual.

Doesn't Cabella do really well on Wii though? Isn't that Activision?

rogue squadron 4 please!

Yes, it's a multiplat though and it's yet to hit a million (only on sale in one region).

Maybe they'll try and milk Cabela's now...

I can't complain really. Activision has been one of the worse pushers of sub-standard 'casual' crap on Wii. If they have given up that folly that's fine with me.

Activision is one company that has never made an earnest attempt to understand the Wii market - just trying to exploit it anyway they can.
