I'm with sega4life on this one... I never really watch TV in school, so when I went home (sometime between Nov15 - Dec) I caught plenty of CoD WaW commercials on TV.

I usually caught the one promoting the Wii version, surprisingly.

edit: I live in the US, btw.

Did that happened last week or two? Because thekitchensink says he've seen commercials of COD WAW the day he make the thread about it:

Unless he just didnt know theres already a Wii version ad of the game.

edit: You did say Nov. 15. So are the commercials included the Wii version or exclusively to Wii version alone?

Unfortunately I didn't really mark the exact date, so I can only give a range when I saw them. thekitchensink could be right, but the 27th sounds a bit late to me (who knows).

I know I've seen two different commercials, the multiplat and the Wii one. The multiplat one is this:

The Wii one I can't seem to find anywhere (wtf?), but it's like a shorter version of what they show in the Nintendo Channel. It's very strange how I can't find the vid, but I'm pretty sure I wasn't just imagining things...

edit: Forget my memory, maybe it's just the one you linked. It doesn't look familiar to me, though.

thats good news for wii's version of the game

It actually makes sense... They were waiting until the casuals were buying in droves... the hardcore would buy it regardless of advertising. They were saving it for peak time.



End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)

Wii- 72 million   3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases

360- 37 million   Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak

PS3- 29 million  Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut

 OH. Ok, so you're not sure if the Wii version of COD WAW was advertised on TV before Nov. 27. So we can have a hunch that Activsion advertising the Wii version heavily during December and christnas season when Wii buyers shopped in most numbers. Godd strategy BTW...
