Forums - Nintendo - Call of Duty: World at War is the best-selling Wii FPS*

SaviorX on 21 July 2009

Currently at 1.2 million copies sold, Call of Duty: World at War has surpassed the previous title holder Red Steel.

 

The No More Heroes/Red Steel bundle may have sold several thousand copies to make this event untrue, but with no listed sales numbers, COD wins.

 

*Metroid Prime 3:Corruption has been widely regarded as a First-Person Adventure game.

it beat red steel in about 10 months, with almost no competition (except the conduit) it should easily sell 1.5M by the end of the year

I wonder if the Conduit will eventually beat this game.

Why did Red Steel continue to sell so many copies even after gamers acknowledged it is a terrible game?
Why is a watered down port selling so well?
Maybe Wii owners do not deserve quality FPS like "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare". Why bother to make great FPS if Wii owners will buy any FPS with pretty box?

1. Because it was a launch game. After that, sales came because it cost $20 or less.

2. Because it's one of the best on the platform. Of course, if it didn't sell, people would just say that proves there's no market for FPS on the Wii. Nice catch-22 you've set up there. You're so clever.

3. Yeah, why bother competing at all? Superior products never attract more customers than inferior ones. Your wisdom is astonishing.

If Conduit has the legs that COD WAW does then maybe.
