The reason that MadWorld sold so badly was because of the gore, art-style, and repetitiveness of the game.
All the Call of Duty games on the Wii sold VERY well.
"Bowling also suggested that Infinity Ward could work on new IP after the release of Modern Warfare 2, though at the same time insisted that the studio was still enjoying making Call of Duty games."
Infinity Ward better make a new franchise, because by if I see Modern Warfare 3 in 2011, Call of Duty franchise will be pretty old by then. I don't want Infinity Ward to be the company that milks it's franchise until it gets pretty old (*cough*, *cough*, Bungie Studios).
