I have been enjoying my time with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 on the Wii, and if you aren't aware, the Wii version has been patched not once, but twice now; and they even did some behind the scene "fixes" that didn't require a download.
I finished the single-player campaign in roughly 6 hours, and have spent about another 2 hours going back and playing through some of the levels again. Based on the reported hours, I definitely think Wii owners are playing the game's online multiplayer.
The video below shows off the first few minutes of one of my multiplayer matches after the second patch was released for the game. If you're wondering, the results in the video were based off of luck, not skills:
Seeing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 debut already I think continues to show there is a market for FPS games on the Wii, and specifically FPS games with online multiplayer even given the Wii's online use of "friend codes".
