I'd bet this is why ModernWarefare2 was never confirmed. They wan't people to buy this one 1st and then the sequel.

And who says this won't break the series through on the Wii the way it did for the HD systems?

Not claiming it will, but it could.



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

Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs

from Neoseeker:

"The publisher is, of course, promising Nintendo fans that same thrilling Modern Warfare experience as with any HD console."

It's called appeasement

Don't be ridiculous. The enthusiasts on the forums who have to be "appeased" are an insignificant section of the market. This is business, not politics we're talking about.

It's not just the members of this or any forum. That's a very miniscule number compared to the entire market. It is, however, for the 50M+ "casual" gamers who see, as someone so adequately put it earlier, the new CoD coming on everything except the Wii.

@Viper1

100,000 man hours? I thought it was just a port. I thought everything was there for the game, and just needed to be laid out on the Wii's architecture. I thought ports were already a lot cheaper to make on any platform, and now it's the Wii? And no impending threat? Hrmmm...ever heard of Modern Warfare 2? You know, the game that sent everything else into 2010? Like many have said, MW2 is going to cannabalize MW: Wii's sales, and then Activision will just turn around and say "well, we finally gave you the game, and you didn't buy it. Guess what we said is true about hardcore games. Oh well"

30 people x 50 hours weeks x 70 weeks = 105,000 man hours.  Of course the numbers are just averages but this comes out to about $3 million.  Not shovelware cheap but not full AAA game costs either.

And how exactly is MW threatening Activision?  More face palm.  For your appeasement theory to work, Activision would need to be threatened by Wii owners such as from a massive boycott.  You just suggested that the threat was their own game on completely different platforms.

MW2 isn't threatening Activision, but it is threatening MW: Wii's sales. MW2 is supposed to be the biggest game ever (I doubt it will be, but let's just go by what Activision is saying). Don't you think that will completely overshadow MW: Wii...a 2 year old port?

I get that you think MW2 will overshadow sales of MW on Wii but you are talking about something completely different here.

You said that MW on Wii was simply appeasement. Appeasement is a measure to reduce or control a threat. For MW to be an appeasement to Wii owners, they would have to pose a threat to Activision. You stated that threat was MW2.

Now do you see what your last few posts haven't made any sense?

The Conduit who?

LoL... It's nice that Wii owners are finally getting to experience 2007's GOTY, even if it is a scaled down port. Treyarch did a pretty good job with WaW, which seemed kinda rushed, so I think this one will be better, as long as they include all maps and multiplayer modes.

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.

I believe that could happen but I think it would've definitely happened if it was released along with the others and without being gimped like World at War was.
