Well its not trolling when its true. Look at all the games coming this year for the Wii. Or try going to Gamestop, the wall of shovelware is almost staggering. If I said all Wii games are shovelware. Than yeah, that would be trolling.

Sucks for the wii owners well theres still redsteel2 and that games looks awesome.

These posts might have already been addressed by now, but anyways...

First of all, I don't think you know what revenue means.  Second, CoD4 sold 13.4 million.  In order for it to have lower profits than the Wii version, the development costs would have needed to be around $500 million dollars for the HD version and $0 for the Wii.  This is assuming $30 for wii copies and $40 for HD going to Activision.  These numbers aren't exactly accurate, but they are good enough to reinforce the point.  Your assertions are more likely to be correct for games with very low sales.  i.e. 125k sales on the Wii vs 500k on the HD consoles.

Why do you seem to think a Wii Port costs essentially nothing while a PS3 port would require a million copies sold?  No ports or original games would be released on HD consoles if costs were that high.  There isn't really that much to most ports.  You don't need to create new art assets, hire new voice actors, do new motion capture, CG/recorded cutscenes, etc.  I recall a dev once saying that a port cost about 10% of the original game.  I can't find the link right now, but that makes a whole lot more sense than $25+ million that you are suggesting.

@ Yakuzaise

Nice opinion above. Just like mine.

Happy New Year dude.

Just because your local store sells crap, doesn't mean the worldwire picture look like that. Also, I think I am not wrong, Gamestop is a store that buys used stuff. So I am not surprised at all that they buy all the shovelware that uninformed people get and than regrets.

I agree with you when you say that some things just can't be done on the Wii as opposed to the PS360.  However, the differences between the Wii and the PS360 versions were, as I established, not based on processing power disparity, as those features were either already been present in games in the previous generation (16 player multiplayer), or unrelated to technical limitations (Nazi Zombies, multiplayer modes, etc).  Either they could not, or would not include those features, and since I've demonstrated that 'could not' cannot have been the case, that leaves 'would not'.  I am also aware that the Wiimote experience is a subjective one, so I'll not debate its superiority over conventional controls, aside from saying that precision can be achieved.

The first point isn't really an opinion.  A wii game selling 1 million will not make more revenue than a HD game selling 3-4 million unless it is priced more than 3-4 times higher.  As for profit, the only way it would be true is if the cost of development was over $100 million.  You yourself said the break even point would be somewhere between 1 and 1.5 million.  If the HD game sold more beyond the break even point than the Wii game sold in total, then how could it make less money?

As for the ports there is less concrete information, but what would suggest the costs would be so high to require a million copies sold?  It takes less time and less people.  The God of War collection took 15 weeks, and that was with enhanced visuals and tropies added to two games.  Even if you made some absurd assumptions like only $10 per game and 100 employees, that would result in costs of around $350k per employee per year.

i think there will be a wii version. i also think treyarch will unnecessarily gimp it like they did WaW.

Whoever would miss out on a guaranteed million copies sold is pretty dumb.

Then you need to tighten the controls.  If all you played is 1 game, I'm quite certain you didn't take much time tweaking the custoimizable controls.

Bouding box, turning speeds, axis speeds, camera speeds, etc...  I play on all consoles, eeen playing dual analog FPS's and PC FPS's since their inception.  To call the Wii's controls innaccurate or inferior to dual analog just shows how limited someone's time has been with it or how they've made up their mind prior to even trying.

 I hope you never run a large business.   The investors and board of directors would vote you out quite quickly.
