Caffeinated Thoughts
I am below the average hours reported "Per person", but I did play a few matches last night online and they all ran well. The online multiplayer did require an update before I could play it though, but the patch took only about 30 seconds to download.
As I was running around in one of the matches last night, I ran across another "Hot Coffee" machine that you see in the first image of this story. As I was looking at it though, an opponent decided that I had looked long enough and apparently wanted their own coffee from it, so my time was short lived (literally) at the coffee machine.
If you missed my "Hot Coffee in Modern Warfare 3? Yes Please!" post from December, here is the video for it that shows where you can find a "Hot Coffee" machine in the single-player campaign:
While Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 has a good amount of hours reported for a third party game on the Wii, it currently has fewer hours reported than Black Ops did only 4.5 months after it originally released for the Wii.
Overall though, I think it's pretty clear from the reported game-play hours that the online multiplayer is a big aspect of the game. Wii owners do seem to still be enjoying the game, as I didn't have any issues last night and today quickly getting into matches, and never had a host migration issue either.
