Sales are not really that bad, if you think about it they put 2 games almos together, 007 & BOPs... They are about 1.6 mill combine, and thats not a bad figure, this will probably keep selling after 007 drops...

i have no doubt this will reach a million, but it's a shame it's just not going faster. I have actually seen posters and large boxes in gamestops and best buys now JUST for the Wii version, it seems a bit late so they missed hyping it up but still.

Well this can still do a million, after all it's 10 week total will most likely be over 700k, with the legs COD titles usually show this should do a million if we all keep out fingers crossed :)

This is such an awesome game. I've played the 360 version on my nephew's console and although it looks terrific, I just can't get back to using the sticks to control FPS games. I just love the Wii controls. I can't live with out that any more. This game just kicks arse completely. Didn't get Goldeneye for Christmas so I guess I'll have to buy it myself soon but till then, I'm totally happy with Black Ops. So much fun online.

I had the 1st generation Wii and has no problem. Well it did freeze once while playing Deadly Creatures but that's the only time in the 4+ years I've had the system. Shouldn't be a problem as the Wii is built like the old Toyota and Lexus; just dependable. I upgraded to the X360S just so that I could avoid the reliability issues of the 1st gen 360; but Wii has no issues like that.

I am using a Wii with the older Hardware as well and i played Waw to Prestige 5, MW Reflex to Prestige 1 und i reached Prestige 3 in BO. 2 Years Ago, i had freezing Problems in WaW and i bought the lense cleaning set. After using it, my Wii worked fine again. I Think the main Problem is that the Wii Drive Lense is getting dirty after some time and if you dont clean it, Games that use a game Engine with much streaming technology, The Laser may be overheating. Get the Lense cleaning set and use it every 3 months. Other games like SH: Shattered Memories use hardcore streaming on the Wii as well, its not just the CoD Games.

Black Ops also can cause you Wii to break. That causes it to lose major points in my eyes. GE was designed for the system. It simply runs better as a result. BO has more features but that means nothing if the experience isn't without issues.

Look, the single player of Goldeneye is better than Black Ops, but don't start saying Goldeneye is a better package, that is just nonsense. Black Ops has a much better online system, chat and co-op. Goldeneye is a great game, but Black Ops is a better overall package. Both deserve to do over a million.

The issue isn't the controls Drake, it's the fact that this is very much a teen-twenty something male game and the Wii is the most balanced in its demographic. Lads like bells and whistles and make funny noises when you tell them you play it on Wii. This will make it to a good million and Goldeneye somewhere near 2 million.

And also no special editions, which seems petty to many but believe it or not will tip the scales for alot of people. It's just another way they seem like they aren't even trying to reach "hardcore" gamers in the Wii audience or even create them.

primogen18 posted 14/12/2010, 01:42
I think there is just more exposure of FPS's to HD gamers then to the Wii audience. In general there is always less exposure, less marketing, and less attention to Wi versions of these games. They don't have nearly as much of a chance of reaching actual sales potential. Alot of people believe Black Ops simply never came out on Wii, those are the ones who read magazines like Gameinformer (which leaves out Wii versions of just about every multiplafprm game), ask gamestop employees, walk into best buy where you have a wall of Black Ops for PS3/360 with no Wii version mentioned, or look at most promotional material. Clearly they just don't want to market it to Wii gamers even though it shows potential in that market, they don't care. This is showing some good legs though and will reach 1M+ for sure, but it could be alot better if more of the Wii audience knew about FPS games and given the chance. No demos, nothing on the Nintendo channel, no "beta versions" of any kind, nothing to expose more people then those who already know about it.

as for advertisment, I think the reason they dont advertise is because they know the game will sell 1mil no matter what, why spend the money on ads if your gonna get the same results anyway. its not like the people who need to see commercials would buy this game for Wii anyway. Also MS has a monopoly on ads for COD, but the PS3 version is still doing great, whats PS3's excuse

@ Triadfish this leaves out the whole of continental Europe where the game was delayed by 10 days.

curl-6,

This game is not a port. This game is built from the ground up by a separate dedicated team at Treyarch. Just because its separate doesn't mean its a spinoff from the main game, the game has the same story, missions, co-op, and online as the other consoles but just developed to take better use of Wii's features. This means a better framerate than MWR, and better graphics. :)

It should also be noted that unlike previous Wii COD games, this one had to compete against Goldeneye 007; a well made FPS released on the same system at the same time.
