I imagine it will do much better on the Wii U than the Wii. Misread, thought it meant all future CoD games.

This will depend how many Wii Us are sold in the christmas period. Blops 2 won't sell much, but future CoD titles will.

Around 2.5m LTD
slightly better than the Wii games, but nothing extraordinary

I expect 2 million. The console will be new and many gamers will get it for the PS360. I expect next years installment will sell a lot more.

I think BLOPS2 will sell for a long time with the Wii U too, well into 2013.

Really after Mario (assuming most Nintendo Land's are going to be bundled) ... I think most people will turn to BLOPS2.

Never underestimate consumer thinking either, honestly sometimes I've bought games (which weren't bad games mind you) more because I wanted something new to play on my shiny new system. When people get a new game system they tend to load up on the games.

Plus I think being able to play console-perfect CoD (sorry Vita) in your bed or on the pooper (lol) or on the porch has a certain appeal.

They will make retail copies and you can buy them at a store.

that is how it will sell

“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

With Wii we were all initially interested to see how motion/IR aiming improved/affected our favorite games. The gamepad does not have this same appeal, it'll be 90% the same as traditional controllers. Meaning BO2 won't likely see CoD3 Wii type sales. (CoD3 was also the only CoD (and best FPS) on Wii for 2 years....)

Bold: BO2 still supports pointer controls, so that might appeal to the existing Wii FPS base, even if it's not new any more.

Italic: What about Medal of Honor Heroes 2?

Bold: Yes but based on MW3 sales that's only .5m

Italic: I stand corrected. I thought MoH:H2 came out in 2008, but it was 2007, one year after CoD3 and was superior (but not nearly as popular as CoD)

Well the Wii games sold over 1M and this gets the added bonus of being (arguably) the best console version, launch release and release near the HD twins so Im saying i will be surprised if it does less than 2M

Or 1.6m if we go by Goldeneye, which was a more high-profile Wii FPS.
