Some think that Infinity Ward is possibly denying itself hundreds of thousands in sales for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 by not releasing the game on Wii. However, Infinity Ward community manager Robert Bowling indicated to Develop that the system's processing power can't produce the vision that the developer ultimately has for the game.
“If we felt like we could deliver the cinematic experience we were going for on other platforms, then we would gladly move to that platform,” said Bowling. “Right now, we don't think the Wii can deliver the exact experience that we’re doing. We like to be very equal across all platforms, and if it’s not equal then we won’t do it.”
Robert Bowling doesn't think the Wii can handle this.
Bowling also teased that Infinity Ward's next title might not be a Call of Duty game, though he gave no commitment about the developer's next project. “We never worry about the future too much,” he said. “Right now we wanted to make a sequel, so the entire team is hands on deck for making Modern Warfare 2. Then once this is done, maybe we’ll see about doing something new. If we do want to do something else, then we will do it. We don’t feel tied to making Call of Duty games. We still make Call of Duty games because we’re having fun doing it. And when it stops being fun, we’ll move onto something else.”
