Considering the underwhelming sales CoD on the Wii gets. I don't see Red Steel selling a million.

Considering the underwhelming support COD on the Wii gets, I'd say sales are higher than they ought to be.


Great games sell even without advertising. Or, it could have sold better with advertising.

Its easy to argue either side. All I can say, anyone who wants it must know its on the Wii.

Well, COD at least proves mediocre/late ports sell even without advertising. Not sure about your other points, especially that last one...

For the record, this isn't just any random medicore/late port. Its part of the most popular franchise today.

And it still moves at least a million, with zero promotion.  Nice to know what the east amount of effort will net you on Wii.

Even with the least amount of effort, its still one of the best titles available on the Wii.

Well, at least your opinions line up accordingly with your awareness. Consistency's a virtue.

@Boneitis - We've covered the COD debate adnauseum on these forums. CoD 3 sold as well as the PS3 version despite being a PS2 port, Modern Warfare (which made the series huge) got skipped all together on the Wii, spliting the CoD market completely away from the Wii. World at War was over a million seller despite being the follow up to the game that made the series huge on the HD consoles and Reflex is on it's way to some pretty damn good sales for a 2 year old Port. If Modern Warfare had come out at the same time as the HD consoles, it'd easily be over 2 if not 3 million right now, as would World at War, and Modern Warfare 2 would have gotten made for the Wii and be selling well right now. If anything, the sales of CoD despite shafting the Wii just shows that there is a market for FPS's.

2 years after Modern Warfare debuts on HD Consoles, a Wii Port comes out alongside a brand new HD game. If you're a fan of the series(now one of the biggest around), which console are you going to want to play it on?



I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do. 

Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

@ jarrod
I feel like this discussion went on a tangent. So I just started being sarcastic.



@ stof
Even if it launched at the same time, you think sales would be anywhere near the HD consoles?



RS2 can make a million IMO, problem is though that when they cut their projections in half i'm afraid they'll cut the advertising budget in half too which will affect sales
