I fear what ? 

What does COD Waw being profitable has do with me or anyone here? This is a sales site and frankly, 800k for one of the biggest game released last year is laughable on a console with 46 million users. Thus fanboys come up with excuses to praise it over  the better selling versions. 

wait until it sells a million at least.

Um, dollar for dollar it is more profitable. I know more about finance than you do, I am sure of it, dont treat me as some desparate fanboy trying to rationalize my fanboy wet dreams, I said I was not trying to say the Wii version was more imporant. IRR is a widely used measure of what projects are worthwhile and which aren't. However, CFOs also use Net Present Value, which is a much more complex formula. A combination of NPV and IRR is what would be best used. NPV is a bit better than IRR because it accounts much better for total profit being it is not just a %. IRR is quick and easy, that is why many still use it.

All that to say, if anyone says it is not worth the extra 10-25% dev cost of making a Wii version is dead wrong. Because the Wii actually makes a higher IRR on that additional funding than the HD consoles do on the "main" game. Yes this is technicalities, like, if there was no HD version to port from a stand alone Wii game would cost much more. So I would be the IRR on JUST an HD version would still be higher than the IRR, if it was just a Wii exclusive. I did not realize that people wanted to deny COD:WaW any credit. jeez. Does it really scare you that bad that a game is doing well on the Wii?

To those calling me desperate or whatever, you don't get it. Go get a degree or 2 in finance and then come back and you might actually have a clue.

Your tears...they are so bitter yet, surprisingly satisfying as you scramble for damage control.

Moar. I want to see moar bitter tears.

actually, although I cant tell if you are being sarcastic or not, that was my point. The Wii should at worst recieve a quality port of all COD, and maybe even most HD games (cough, RE5, cough)

no matter what, i still doubt the next call of duty will be made for wii. call of duty 4 is a serious game, for pro fps players- i honestly couldnt imagine it on wii

should have figured the guy with the barrack obama avatar would have little to no undertranding of financial "situations"

lol, I kid about the BO thing, but really its not that hard to grasp. Ever heard the term "X" is pound for pound the best fighter in the world? No one is saying he is better than the heavyweight champ, they are just trying to say he is good. I am saying dollar for dollar SD cod is more profitable than HD. Do you need a more simply illustration?

I have tear of laughter reading the OP trying to compare 800k sales to 7 million. Nice try though, the sad thing about these games on the wii is worst games are selling so much more than the actual good games that deserve it.

actually it was more 1.3 million, why cant the wii get the PS2 version added in if the 360 gets the PS3 version?

Anyways again, you are just making it more obvious you have zero understanding of finance. So you really need to STFU.

relax buddy, you are the one with the understanding of finance, you are the George W. of this site. I'm just like Obama trying to understnd your fuzzy math. 

He was talking about profitability, not comparing sales. But I can understand how you misread that while typing furiously on your keyboard through a stream of bitter tears. It goes along with the half-assed trolling reserved for Wii Bingo.

It's alright. We can't all be at our best during the stages of grief.
