Sadly, no MP and crap frame rate WAS Activision putting in an effort. Look at some of the other games from third parties at the time. And the lack of CoD4 was a contributing factor; so was the fact that WaW lacked the big added appeal of the Zombie mode, etc. Each and every CoD since CoD3 has been lacking in functionality on the Wii compared with other versions, and none of it had anything to do with lack of capability of the system, because later ones introduced the functionality that was missing in earlier ones... while missing the new functionality. Every one of them has lacked DLC, with the first game to actually get DLC content at all being CoD: Ghosts, and that was only made available about 6 months after release (and without being announced ahead of time), when it was a pre-order bonus on the other systems. Oh, and they also didn't actually advertise any except CoD3 and WaW, and WaW was only advertised during Nintendo's E3 presentation. I don't cherry pick the games that sold well. My argument isn't that all games sell well on Nintendo systems. My argument is that SOME games sell well on Nintendo systems, and that genre isn't the restricting factor. To demonstrate that, I merely have to provide examples of it. It is *not* cherry picking to provide evidence of existence by giving examples of existence. What *is* cherrypicking is to declare nonexistence by rejecting every example of existence for nonsensical reasons, or declaring that there's no market for a genre because some games in that genre sold poorly (especially if you don't pay attention to things like advertising, features, etc, when examining it). The FACT is that games of this sort CAN sell well on Nintendo systems. That is irrefutable, given that there are plenty of examples of it. The assertion that was made was that GTA has not been tested on the system, to which it was claimed that there was "plenty of evidence" that games like GTA could not possibly sell well on the system... which is false, as I have demonstrated. Now, if you have nothing except bad logic (on your part) to base your dismissal of my arguments on, then I have no reason to continue arguing with you.
So you're saying there's far better quality FPS titles on the other systems... and that doesn't explain the low performance of FPS on the Wii? Very classy, by the way, saying things like that in a response to someone else, as an indirect attack on me.

But that doesnt change the fact that the games did get better? did they not? im not saying that COD4 missing didnt contribute, but lets be real here the sales would have dwindled no matter what. Even if it had all the features, it would have looked the worse, ran the worse and played the worse people dont want to deal with that, so they would have migrated to other versions anyway. DS got COD4 and every subsequent one and still saw sales plummet. DLC is a sad excuse as every version gets it late besides 360 didnt stop PC or PS3 version doing well. Explain. ADs are MS exclusive didnt stop PS3 version doing well, explain.
GTA is an open world game. So you havent proved anything, name a game of that genre that did well. Cause the few WIi had didnt light the world on fire and their own exclusive Lego city game didnt do much either. and the GTA released on DS didnt do much either. So he isnt wrong.
No it explains the "low" performance of GE on the HD twins, better options it was too expensive, a year late port. Very good reasons to sell "low" which it didnt. Low performance of FPS on Wii? the games suck for the most part the only good ones were some of the CODs and those were the worst versions you can get. besides portables. People arent that ignorant, they want FPSs they arent getting a Wii or a WIi u for them. THey know that those systems dont have a lot of those games adn the ones they do have a mediocore at best. Its that simple.
Saying your lying to yourself might be harsh but lets be real. You've been using the same fail examples for a while now, and you keep purposely leaving out information just to make your point look better not the first time. And when called out on it you sidestep completly. GE was a late more expensive port, NMH the same. TO use those as points of reference to say Wii versions of anything doing better is laughable. How about get some examples when the games released day and date together on all platforms you wont do that cause your argument falls apart. Unless its some family tripe the WIi version and Wii U ones always do worst and you know it. Force Unleased 1 2 EVERY COD. Splinter Cell, Assassin's Creed. I can go on.
