Call of Duty Wii didn't do bad at all.

With typical Wii legs it has a very strong shot at selling over 1 million.
It's especially good when you consider it appeals largely to the demographic that already has a 360 or PS3.

Apparently more than 2 years in we still have some confusion among devs/pubs that a good budget, strong advertising (on more than 1 network during primetime), and constant retailer promotion (front page ads, sale price every week) = good sales
Isn't it just about there? Wii fit wont slow down in 2009 and it sells roughly 300-800k a month

Even after E3 GAF hated it, this thread comes to mind

I didn't get that, really. Nintendo's E3 conference sucked, but the Shaun White game was one of the more reasonable portions of it.

ya SWSnowbording looked pretty cool when they demoed it on XPLAY 6 months ago. Think the licensing is what made GAF hate it

Outstanding.
So what will the Wii haters now bitch about? How their favorite genre isn't selling well on the system?

470k-487k, actually. Shaun White sold 470k according to IGN, and CoD ranked above it.J-Rock said:
Well, Wii haters tend to be FPS fanboys, and Call of Duty is doing well enough. I guess they're just screwed everywhere :lolNintendosBooger said:

COD: WAW (and Shaun White to a lesser extent) is a perfect example of a game with a relatively lower profile selling well on the Wii just on sheer userbase size alone.
Ubisoft benefitted from having 2 balance board compatible games ready for the holiday's. I'm really surprised at the lack of BB games announced so far. It's basically like having a platform with no other games competing for space.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. But looking at the wiki page for the balance board, there were 6 retail games released in Oct 2008 or later that used the BB in some form. I think the ones to look forward in 2009 are EA Sports Active and PunchOut.

Then 3rd parties will spend March wondering why Nintendo has $6 billionish in profits and they are desperately treading water.
And it's not the CEO's faults at all, really! It's just the evil bad recession that's causing all these problems to pop up at such an alarming rate now.poppabk said:
Since it's not the CEO's faults and actually the recession's faults, let's give some bonus to the CEOs and fir...er...relax some peop...err...resources during the downtime caused by the recession.
Fable II hit 1.2 million in Dec NPD and Banjo 140k per Gamespot;

Shame about Banjo it is such a gem and particularly at the price.

Äsch, Fable II really digged its way beautifully through the holidays.
EDIT : according to NPD, Fable II sold 974 000 through November. So, for December, that gives more or less 220'000 copies sold. This doesn't give much information though since Prince Of Persia and Fable II were neck to neck in the X360 charts
Hence :
1. 360 CALL OF DUTY: WORLD AT WAR* ACTIVISION BLIZZARD
2. 360 GEARS OF WAR 2* MICROSOFT
3. 360 LEFT 4 DEAD ELECTRONIC ARTS
4. 360 FALLOUT 3* BETHESDA SOFTWORKS
5. 360 MADDEN NFL 09* ELECTRONIC ARTS
6. 360 GUITAR HERO WORLD TOUR* ACTIVISION BLIZZARD
7. 360 MORTAL KOMBAT VS. DC UNIVERSE* MIDWAY
8. 360 ROCK BAND 2* MTV GAMES/ELECTRONIC ARTS > 220'000
9. 360 FABLE II* MICROSOFT
10. 360 PRINCE OF PERSIA* UBISOFT
which was a lower bound that was already known.
