May i add that Activision said they want this to be the highest selling game, in order to do that they have to beat wii play, which is sitting at a healthy 23 million. Modern Warfare 2 needs the wii to do those kind of numbers. The HD consoles cant push 20 million combined. They need the wii as their top platform.

Wii play is bundled with the controllers.  And it is hardly a game, more like a tech demo for the controllers or an arcade game.

 

It shouldn't even be included on the list of retail games

yeah but its still a game, the point is the hd consoles dont have what it takes to push more than 15 million, while with the help of the wii they may can push 15 million

If you say so.  I guess you expect it will sell more than Mario Kart Wii.  Oops that comes with a Wii Wheel so it doesn't count as a game either.

The difference is the wheel is bundled with Mario Kart. Wii Play is bundled with the wii-mote.  Big difference.

 

Would you pay 49.99 for Wii Play without the controller? No

Would you pay 49.99 for Mario Kart without the wheel?  yes

I'm only reporting you for the admitted attack.

@OP

Not every gamust be on the Wii, some developers just don't have the resources or want, games are dreams of devs made virtual, look at Conduit. If that dream appeals to you then buy it.



I'm Unamerica and you can too.

The Hunt Begins 4/20/2010 =D

Infinity Ward is actually the one's that finished optimizing the Call of Duty 4 engine for the Wii. After IW finished optimizing the engine for the Wii, they handed it over to Treyarch so they can get familiar with it and get their hands in it. In this process, Treyarch worked around the things they wanted in their game and what couldn't make it in the game with the engine. And some of the things were cut due to time and cost and to Wii hardware.

Do you know what confuses me. Why do people say "Infinity Ward hates the Wii?" They clearly don't and I have talked to IW's Robert Bowling (FourZeroTwo) on many occasions and asked him on his thoughts about the Wii. He says "It's a great console, with a lot of potential." He has no problems with the Wii whatsoever. Infinity Ward loves the Wii.

Why would Infinity Ward finish optimizing their engine for the Wii, then never release a game for that particular console?

And the reason why Call of Duty 4 never came to the Wii was because Infinity Ward was trying to port the engine over to the Wii but sadly they didn't have enough time to do so. Activision said they HAD to release the game soon so they never got to porting the engine over. And in their down time after the release of Call of Duty 4, Infinity Ward finally got the chance to finish their already work-in-progress engine port, and then later gave it to Treyarch for World at War. And since the engine is now finished and is ready to be optimized even farther by Infinity Ward, there is no excuse of why Modern Warfare 2 shouldn't release on the Wii.

meh, no biggie. I played MW1 on PC and thought it was crappy. I'm waiting for conduit on Wii and the next Battlefield on PC.

Way to miss the context. To me that says you want to shut me up, considering my comment was about calling on users for being willfully ignorant, not about trying to start a fight.



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

I don't understand why it wouldn't be on the Wii now.

Companies would kill for a guaranteed million seller.

Unless they've convinced themselves that a system still more powerful than the 6th gen is "backwards", but Activision is not Epic.
