omg it says it's 120 bucks!!!
The list price has not changed. It is availability that is the issue. And a reseller (that is Amazon preferred -- hence the posting on the front page) is trying to charge 2x MSRP for the game.
For example, only 3 Gamestops reported having the game in stock new for the Wii within 50 miles of my zip code. Meanwhile 18 have it in stock new for the Xbox 360 and PS3. (The used numbers are 0, 5, and 6 respectively).
Suddenly, this game is very hard to find. Shows the power of advertising.

I actually got the last copy at a gamespot today 39.99$ but two out of the three gamespots I checked were out of stock, this game might very well be undertracked.
Bet between Slimbeast and Arius Dion about Wii sales 2009:
If the Wii sells less than 20 million in 2009 (as defined by VGC sales between week ending 3d Jan 2009 to week ending 4th Jan 2010) Slimebeast wins and get to control Arius Dion's sig for 1 month.
If the Wii sells more than 20 million in 2009 (as defined above) Arius Dion wins and gets to control Slimebeast's sig for 1 month.
Hey, I bet COD:WAW Wii might just have legs :)
Wii games having legs, what a concept
gamestop has it new for $39.95 in US and $49.95 for the 360ps3 versions. surprising it says used $44.95 for Wii its availible now at gamestop and bestbuy online.

| bigjon said: well the game is sold out everywhere I look. I do not see how a game can be selling out in places, yet only doing 25k in all of NA......... |
and in the stores around my home, and work (i work in another city) all seem to have it in stock where the ps3/360 versions are sold out.... only game crazy did not have ... though it is a crappy game crazzy and the only one i know of in the area still open.
all of this is moot, because most likely its a stocking issue with the wii it moves software, and if a game did not perform well enough, why reorder or keep shelf space dedicated to it when other wii software moves better. our walmarts have already put it on its side in the case where they put software before it gets marked down. and gamestops have it placed in a stack off to the side of other less fortunate games. our loan EB (yes i know its a game stop but the signage still says eb) has it up, but then its a massive store in the good mall, they have empty wall space.

"The PS2, PC, DS and Wii versions of Call of Duty: World at War, however, sold only about 200,000 units combined, something that is surely disappointing to Activision considering the advertising specifically targeting the Wii version of the game and Call of Duty's origin as a PC title."
The Wii version is unfortunately selling as bad as everybody thinks.
It is doing good. It is possible it will have as much LT sales as 360 version sold on week 5.
