OMG!.... i know this sounds weird.

But i just saw the wii ad on TV....In NEW ZEALAND! Crazy!
crazy because well:

1st: its New Zealand
2nd: its Wii
3rd: its Nintendo

They've been playing the HD version all last week. And Wii Music ads have been played to death over here in NZ.

But yea... its the 1st ever 3rd party add for the wii ive seen in NZ. (im not counting STFU as it was a HD and Wii version ad)

Checked out a couple retailers today, didn't see a single copy of CoD: WaW Wii on the shelves. At this point, I'd say retail support is the biggest problem for this game. Who exactly is to blame for that? I'm not sure.

 ACTIVISION. Im from the Philippines, I want to see if the Wii version of this game is available but I dont even seen a single copy of it. And Im from the Philippines I even search on pirated goods NO WII VERSION, I even seen the PS2 version but no Wii version though I've seen PC, 360 and PS3 everywhere...

I think 3rd parties are inept when distributing Wii games are concerned especially multiplats.

It's anecdotal, but my story's the same. Would have bought this sometime this month, except that its' MIA everywhere I've looked.

No biggie. It'll rear its head sometime, I'm sure.

hopefully this could spike sales

Its 110,000 in sales so far so it definitely have legs. Even the supply of the game is definitely scarce. Which means dont be disappointed if this game didnt passed 1 million on its lifetime...

Same here. I found the game easily on launch day, but now it's nowhere to be found in the 5+ retailers I regular go to in my city. It seems retailers aren't ordering the game from Activision.

There are about a hundred PS2 versions in the MediaMarkt in Utrecht though.

Finally saw it in a Future Shop today. Pretty good stock, too. Nothing compared to the retarded huge supply of RRR TV Party they had, though.

Should be interesting to see if Black Friday does anything to this game's sales.

Do you mean the Wii version? Its odd that they suddenly increase the supply even its Black Friday soon. Did Activision caught up with the demand right now?
