Pachter thinks GoldenEye Wii sales will be disappointing
“Given the track record of ‘hardcore’ Wii exclusives, I would bet that sales are underwhelming. It’s a funny thought to resurrect a 10 year-old brand – maybe longer – and keep it a Nintendo exclusive. It is unlike Activision to do an exclusive, and I am particularly surprised that they would do it with Goldeneye. I completely agree that most of the original audience is pretty hardcore, and think a Rare game on the 360 would have a better chance. Perhaps this is all due to the James Bond license, but… a Wii exclusive is odd.” – Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter
Even though the sales of the game will be questionable, the remake would probably have a better chance of obtaining success over titles like as Little King’s Story and Dead Space Extraction. The IP is slightly more recognizable, and the peripheral – if what we saw is the real deal – could push sales at least a bit. Although, the odd thing about all of this is that the game hasn’t even been confirmed yet!
