The game is nearly identical for all the systems other than graphics, maybe a few different features. The initial development is expensive, the port is a fraction of the initial cost. Wii already has the CoD4 engine with W@W, I highly doubt IW is going to make a new engine for CoD6 since the current engine works fine. You act like the team is going to spend as much time porting it to Wii as it did to make the game in the first place. The team making MW2 would be foolish to ignore millions of potential sales.

There would be virtually no delay in making a new game if they choose to port to Wii.

hey i'm not making an argument saying they shouldn't make a wii game, or port hd games to each other. I was just stating you can't take what he said as pure fact, there are other parts to be thought about.

you guys asked about what oppertunity cost was and i explained it.

Why do you assume adding another platform to a multiplatform release would delay a game that would likely be made by someone else?

Plus what would this more profitable game be? If it really was more profitable, wouldn't Activision have another team to make it?

I've just never heard if called opportunity costs before.   I've heard resource allocation and profit protential being used as you describe though.

 I'm on almost every day for about 2 hours. I've played it for four and a half days total.

Activision has $5 billion in revenue, and profits up 20% from last year. That does not come from rejecting profitable outlets for your games. If more Wii support gets them more money (and GH World Tour sells best on the Wii), the Wii is getting more support from them.
