Forums - Sales Discussion - Analysis: First week CoD WaW Wii major flop, Medal of Honor breaks 500k

^^ 500 k for a CoD game is still a flop, the franchise is HUGE.

I agree. However, the game at least won't be a financial flop for Activision -they are sure to make a profit from this game. But considering the Wii's installed base and COD's popularity, it should at least outsell COD3 (700k)

For PS360 and PC IT IS... For the Wii if not for Treyarch Wii wouldnt see another call of duty and COD 4 engine. Why COD WAW Wii stripped out all of its features on the Wii version anyway?

sorry you're just to positive, i'd rather leave this thread, people aren't rational



Im actually picking up 2 wii copies - one for me and one for my dad, as I had gotten my parents a Wii back in Sept. My dad being a die hard WW2 fan, owns like ALL the movies, I think this would be a good intro for him into gaming. =)



LOL and who says Im positive? Even the original topic isnt positive.Im just posting on this thread just to show that core games DO SELL on the wii. Even how much Activision tries not to.

stripped of all the features, not hyped before the release, only knew because of E3, not advertised well till now, lack of supply in retailers, etc... yep recipe for disaster but it still sell.

So... sorry for asking BUT... is the wii version still supply constraint in your retailer or not?

To be honest, I haven't looked recently. My gaming gift shopping has been limited to Fable 2 for my nephew, and I move like a ninja through shops, because I don't like being in Christmas crowds. Didn't stop to check out the Wii software availability.

 



But you did bought the 2 Wii versions right? So its available or... you just planning to buy it?
