I've noticed theres no others charts so COD 3 is a million seller if others were included?



end of core gaming days prediction:

 

E3 2006-The beginning of the end. Wii introduced

 

E3 2008- Armageddon. Wii motion plus introduced. Wii Music. Reggie says Animal crossing was a core game. Massive disappointment. many Wii core gamers selling their Wii.

 

E3 2010- Tape runs out

Unless it wasn't released there.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs

I think its released there, its a launch title after all. Now thinking why even a game need to be million seller to make a profit? Even in PS2 era I never seen thse kind of blockbuster releases. NMH was sucesful even it only sell for 300,000

They will not release it on the Wii themselves if they feel that it will impact the quality of their work on the Xbox 360/PC/PS3 versions. If Infinity Ward don't like the Wii the are in a powerful enough position to not develop on the platform. Keeping the developer happy is better for Activision long term than even a few million sales on the Wii. Its quite likely that Treyarch will handle the port to the Wii.



Tease.

Since Viper1 knew everything about Activision we should take his posts as gospel and he says IW was hiring development teams for COD4 engine on the Wii. So in his posts so far its IW will do the Wii version of the next COD on the Wii this time...

Who would buy a console CoD game when it's gimped version of the PC game and PC has better controls... OH SHI- *ducks and covers for Onyxs ban hammer!*

All joking aside and on topic, after seeing what Treyarch did graphically with the CoD4 engine on Wii I'd love to see how far IW could push it cause if Treyarch can make one of the best looking games on Wii then IW could make pure gold, couple that with a lot more customization and most likely more players and maps online.

I believe Activision will probably get IW to do the next CoD game on Wii a lot of developers have said it, they can't ignore the Wii install base, I think the Wii took a back burner the past couple of years cause people really believed the PS3 and 360 to dominate the gaming world so they had their projects already set up to be on them while they had to be late to the party with Wii, I thin IW is going to make it on Wii and expect a lot more marketing for that version of CoD so people will actually know it's out on Wii, I know a lot of shoppers had no idea until they saw the recent commercials...

the next COD definitely made by Infinty Ward, viper1 already says it on the horse's mouth, its the PR of Activision that says theres COD Wii in the works not that officially...

@Maxwell, except that IW can ignore any platform if they wanted to. They'd make money whatever platforms they decided to target.



Tease.

I just checked, Activision hasn't "publicly" announced it yet but that's only because they haven't announced it for any console at all yet, just the official name so far. However they've already those they communicate with. I was speaking to my PR rep about the series last week and there was no indication the Wii was not gettign COD: MW2.

While there is no direct link there is plenty of allusions.

IW hired several developers last year with a requirement of Wii development experience.
The COD4 engine was ported to Wii which is what will power COD6.
The engine wasn't complete in time to begin work on COD4.
Do you think they'd take the time and money to port the engine for just 2 games (World at War and QoS)?
Activision has been a huge Wii supporter and all their franchises have seen a Wii release.

 

Scottie, COD: WaW also runs on the COD4 engine.

to quote for everyone who missed it. PLEASE READ...

Im thinking what software used in Quantum engine? Seem iuts different than the COD 4 engine used in COD WAWii. I think COD WAWii uses Direct X while other games especially The Conduit uses open GL

Do you honestly have any idea what you're talking about?  Do you know the difference between Direct X and Open GL?  Do you know what an API is?  The Wii doesn't use Dirext X, rather Direct3D, at all.

 

The little thing that has been printed on Nintendo systems since Gamecube   Really Yushire assumes a lot of things so don't be too harsh I was harsh one time and realized he's not meaning to me haha.
