UPDATE: This game already passed 80,000 selling 18,000 in others alone. So much this game had flopped, as for the online users what are the stats? numbers?

Second week sales should be higher than first week (that's already the case in "Others" for this week) since the game will have been out a full week and system sales continue to increase on a week-to-week basis leading up to the holidays, so people need to buy SOMETHING for their Wii's lol. I'd pick it up myself but I'd rather just wait till the 360 version gets cheaper and pick that up as the online is alot more robust, and that's the primary reason for getting the game in the first place.

Well the point of the thread was if COD WAW on the Wii is flopped or not though, but as the sales proves it isnt which means the thread was wrong. I think Activision already selling this game for a profit right now since this is inferior than HD consoles.

And as for other games:

Case in point, dont understimate the large userbase what I mean are the third parties it will come to bite and haunt you...

In what world do you live?

WaW sold 1m on PS3 close to 2m on 360 and 0.11m on Wii. That's a whopping 11% of PS3 sales, 6% of 360 sales and 3% of HD console sales.

I knew that Nintendo fans had a selective view on reality but seriously...

I got the game, havent played online yet.

I think part of the poor sales is due to the lack of copies here in Australia. I could only find the game in 1 retailers that had one copy and it wasn't even one of the BIG retailers.

All those retilaers ahd MULTIPLE copies of the 360 and PS3 versions, so like I mentioned previously, I blame Activision for the LACK OFF copies out there.

its the availability. COD didnt distribute to retailers as it used to. Its surprising that it sell as it used to even this game is non-existent in most retailers.

yeah sure

Actually, it is... since I've experienced it too. Theres no Wii version but PC and PS360 are eveywhere, if you've known Z-dub(Zack and Wiki) it will have the same fate but since MOH: H2 veterans are switching to COD WAW till The Conduit comes out, this game will sell atleast in 500,000.
