If the so-called HD consoles were that great than why did this game come out worst on them, and i'm not just talking about games play.

Wii: 1.70 million
PS3: 0.59 hundred thousand
360: 0.37 hundred thousand

BS, how about you show the other console numbers, because it clearly shows that the 360 version still outsold the Wii ones, even before the "core" gamers left.  Hell just pull out about any game that was multiplat and you can see the difference in the numbers, fact is 360 version of games sold better than the other two from the start, how do you explain that?

Oni, just chilax bro, I'd like to have a nice-flowing thread where we can challenge each other. No need to blow off steam here, we're in a team, the vgchartz team.

If you take a sec to see what he means, you wouldn't need the xbox sales. What he's showing with the Wii COD sales is that they're declining (while the others exploded, which is a given), and that's all we really need to know.

fair enough, but they were always on the decline and they never sold as well as at least one of the HD console versions, he says that core gamers left they Wii, I dont buy that as we have evidence to suggest that they were ALWAYS on another console. or at the very least, they had two and slowly stopped playing one of them

Thanks :).

Well, I don't think he was arguing that the sales weren't on other platforms at first, I think, and I could be wrong, I think he was mostly arguing that they were on Wii also, and that changed for the worse over time, due to poor support of that market over time.

I love how people fall back on this fail comparison and always leave out that the HD versions was a year late port, more expensive and had half the ads

But I still think the reason for it is something we can argue a bit.

Is it because the market was poorly supported, and thus the twins "stole" sales off the Wii, or was the PS360 version simply going to be the better choice regardless, bottom line, and hence people chose what was better?

We need more data maybe to slice it.

Which is something that is not available as the games to support that simply never materialized.
