GoldenEye remakers not worried by middling Wii shooter sales

"Activision Producer doesn’t see platform as a ‘challenge’, hints at possible PlayStation Move port."

(VideoGamesDaily)

if friggin goldeneye can't sell on the wii then 3rd parties should simply abandon the platform because nothing will.

[dirigiblebill]

Some third parties do well out of Wii, to be fair - Ubi's Just Dance hasn't exactly disappeared without trace. But as far as shooters are concerned, it's a bit of a blind alley, yes...

1.5 million copies of mw wii to date is amazing sales u weird git 700,000 conduit 1 so far with 500,000 hod overkill and 600,000 red steel all cod have done near or over a million with no advertising ect wii software sales are the best on the market way better at selling hardcore games then ps3 ect try advertising and there is no competition

[mrv321]

Just Dance.

[Vojkan]

this game look like turd, like game from 2005, who cares! You have so many incredible shooters on HD consoles, why would anyone waste their time on this joke?
I know nostalgic nerds will give me disagrees but i am speaking the truth, and you know it.
BTW it will bomb, big time.

People still buy only Mario/Metroid/Zelda in wii.. :/

[ChronoJoe]

They don't buy metroid.

The metroid collection, all 3 games in 1... with motion support... had abysmal sales. It's such a great package too.

[kraze07]

"with motion support..."

There's your answer right there. Apparently the masses think hardcore games with motion control support can only be done on the PS3.

[corneliuscrust]

have great sales? links?

[kraze07]

I meant the masses of fanboys here on N4G.

u prick black ops is going to be the best version on wii i think because th graphics will be so close it will hurt 360 owners ect and with full IR controls and wii chat through headbanger ect i know where im playing black ops this year on the wii with conduit 2 and goldeneye wii IN A BIT

[Blaze929]

Activision doesn't own the Goldeneye IP, Nintendo does. Microsoft tried to bring it to the 360 awhile back but they and Nintendo couldn't come to an agreement. So this being exclusive is purely Nintendo's doing.

[dirigiblebill]

It's not as clear cut as that, from what I can see. Rare and Nintendo own the copyright between them, and Rare is now owned by Microsoft. Don't forget that there's a movie license to reckon with here too...

I've mailed Acti for clarification.

[MexicanAppleThief]

I'd love a Move port :)

[dirigiblebill]

I'd put money on it.

[ChronoJoe]

I'd love a move port, so long as you can use a controller - too.

[spooky205]

Most people on this site already own a wii. Most ps3 core gamers already plan on buying move. Im sure most would rather pick up the ps3 version with move support over the regular wii version. Unless of course they dont purchase move. But even then some may just want a traditional controller for a shooter instead of a wiimote.

If move takes off this could mean we may see ports of great third party wii games (not that there are many) like no more heroes and such.

[ghostgaming]

Game looks kinda lackluster - will get the conduit 2 to fill my FPS needs for the wii.

[jagstatboy]

for me, the reason why shooters don't do well on the wii is the motion controls just don't work. If I can use classic/gamecube controller then I might play, but then why would I when I can play a better looking shooter with online on the PS3?

[ebgeer]

For FPS shooters? Are you serious? Really?

[jagstatboy]

yep, too laggy to keep up with all the action. If the Wii had true 1:1 then they would be ideal for FPS. We'll see how Move does with Socom and KZ3.

[Gr81]

Hasn't had trouble selling FPS on Wii..Actually, no one has really. Wii just doesn't have a lot to choose from. This game will sell fine. Its a legacy game, if the devs come through and produce a great game and advertise it as such, they will reap the rewards.

[SpoonyRedMage]

Didn't Quantum of Solace sell the most on the Wii as well?

and Blur megabombed so we'll see how Bloodstone does as well...

[Venoxn4g]

don't know how to hold wiimote properly, becouse I've never had any problems with wiimote and Fps'es, niether with rail shooters..

[Miacosa]

cause this game is gonna bomb like the rest.

[Spenok]

I have a feeling they should be.

[pcz]

how can they port this game to the move when nintendo own the rights?
