I think that abadoning your product is also a stupid move. Show off the advantages of the Wii version. It's stupid to just abadon potential money. You want to build a strong fanbase for future franchises.

Things I learned from this thread:

HD development is far more expensive than I imagined. An HD game that was famously moneyhatted for $50 million and sold over 11 million copies still failed to make a profit. (GTA 4.) By extension, I'm pretty sure that every other HD game was a financial disaster.

An HD game has sold nearly 6 million copies between the three HD platforms. Development costs were substantially reduced by having the game engines already in place prior to development. The Wii version required it's own new game engine and individual art assets. However, Wii development is so cheap that with only 220k sales the Wii version has made more money than the HD versions. (CoD:WaW.)

Game developers are living in denial, and it will lead to ruin unless they abandon HD development now and go Wii exclusive. PC/360/PS3 gamers need to throw out their systems, buy a Wii, and forget about HD for now. Real HD gaming hasn't actually started yet, and won't start until Nintendo says so.

What? You did?

Wow, because none of those things are true. At all.

I think that it is sacrasm...... I hope.

Or maybe they advertise wii version so that they could get at least some money back of what they have lost on making such a title for wii.

GTA 4 made a big profit, where did you get the idea that it lost money? :)

And for bioshock, we are getting a sequel. Wouldn't that indicate that bioshock was profitable?

"I am so glad it bombed, that pathetic attempt deserves too."

Stop being glad. The game is still selling, and is selling more in others region each week.

W@Wii will be HUGE!

I wouldn't say it will be huge, but it's not a bomb or flop. You all forget this is a Wii game, and you need at least three months to see if a game will be a hit.

Also, the CoD4 engine is scalable. Treyarch was very clear on that, so the game did not use a custom engine.

EDIT: Remember when Boom Blox was a flop?

I havent seen any Wii adverts in the UK, but if there is a media campaign behind the game Activision probably realised that they have not put enough effort to promote game on that platform, it will probably crawl into some decent sales for them but they know it could have done so much better.

I think now it is too little to late.

Only because you forget Wii game have long term sales.

SO... you're saying that by advertising the Wii version they could sell the franchise on the Wii in the future even the HD version could sell even more in the coming sequel of COD? Lets just face it, lets face the facts, if not for Treyarch there would be no COD WAW for the Wii. And with Infinity Ward developing the next COD I doubt there'll be no another COD for the Wii.

The really odd thing was its still advertised in TV even with the low sales and its gimped.

I think in my conclusion that somehow Activsion is profiting from this game. If not, why advertised it? Its just a waste of time and money to advertise for a game that will never sell as expected. SURE, theres no need for advertising for the HD versions but why advertising the Wii version too? Its not practical.

@ese-petteri----> LOL you dont know how much the development cost of the wii version, its horribly gimped I doubt they lose profits if the game is only sale for 100,000 in its lifetime. Activision have a loss making the Wii version? LOL
