That was because Treyarch created the modified CoD engine for Wii on WaW, so it was cheaper for Activision to just have Treyarch do it than IW start from scratch.
If you think about it, Activision always had Treyarch making the CoD games while IW made the other consoles. Not because the Wii didn't have HD graphics, after all Activision brought the CoD series to Wii without a problem, but because the Wii has a different engine than the PS360. That's over 14 million consoles a year! Yet, the Wii didn't get the high profile titles like Batman, Assassin's Creed, Mass Effect, and others. The Wii was last generation's undisputed champion with over 100 million units sold in seven years. Now, you might say "but the Wii U is not selling, that's why developers aren't making games/DLC for it." That is partially true, however, let's take a look at the last generation of gaming. This goes against today's business model.
The Wii U requires developers to have a dedicated team making games for it. Today's business model is about making the maximum return with minimal initial investment.

Unfortunately, what Nintendo didn't count on (or knew but decided to ignore for the sake of having an affordable console) was on the PS4 and X1 using different architectures than their predecessors, thus making it hard (once again) for developers to simply port their games on Wii U. This allowed developers to create games for all three consoles with minimal variation for the Wii U (let's face it, off tv play and map/gadget display on the Gamepad is not much of a different to work on U vs.the PS360). The Wii U's architecture is like the PS360 which allowed for all those ports to be released during its first year of release. Allow me explain my theory.Īs you all know (and in case you don't) the Wii U has a different architecture than the PS4 and the X1. To all of you claiming that it's because the Wii U's lack of power, I am starting to believe that it has nothing to do with the console's power (or lack of) nor even the sales.
