No COD after Modern Warfare sold below 5 million on the PS3. You're grasping at straws.

COD 3
Wii: 2.2m
PS3 1.42m
Wii missed out on the series explosion with COD4 cos Activision screwed Nintendo gamers.

it wasn't so much Activision but IW refusing to work on Nintendo platforms. Activision shoudl have had the balls to tell them to make one.

And forced the gimping of the HD twins versions, potentialy ruining the multi billion dollar franchise before it even got going? Or would you prefer that the Wii version of COD4 just ran like shit compared to the others with stripped down features? If you want to know the reason COD4 didn't release for the Wii along side the other versions it's because Nintendo released an overclocked Gamecube to compete against multicore, shader model 3.0 consoles with almost 10 times the RAM & an onine focus.
So who's fault was it that the nexgen COD with it's new engine and online focus didn't release on Wii? The blame lands square on Nintendo for not making a powerful enough console. I played W@W for hundreds of hours on Wii because I was an idiot, it's far from a good version with it's low resolution and under 30 FPS performance & missing content. Or was the low frame rate, resolution, & lack of feature pairity because of lazy devs?
The fans that where there for COD3 on Wii, slowly moved to the HD twins, not because of any one game, but because almost every truly exciting multiplatform game was either not on the Wii, or the Wii had a crap version. It didn't take people long to pick up on the trend, these same people are the fans who are holding off on buying a Wii U now because it seems to have the same problems as the Wii (out of step with the competition power wise) without any of the Wii's positive points as a piece of hardware.
