I cannot stand when people generalize everyone who owns a Wii by saying "They don't want that kinda game"
WTF
First of you cannot compare sales of Scarface and Godfather with games like Splinter Cell and CoD.
One of the main reasons Scarface and Godfather have not sold many units is because they are ports on much popular systems and gave people very little incentive to go and re-buy the games. Most people that wanted the game from the beginning already had bought it, so the publishers were obviously trying to cash in on Wii by half assing ports to make up for there early lack of commitment.
Resident Evil 4 is selling better than even Capcom expected even though the game was released on the GameCube, Playstation 2, and PC....... How many units do you expect a game on that many platforms to sell.......Jeesh
I am a Wii owner and I can't wait for Metroid or other "complex games that Wii owners don't want" like No More Heroes. A large part of Wii games out now are ports of older games or multiplatform games, some that are doing better on Wii than 360/PS3.
Most people that I know that have a 360 don't even know what a Bioshock is or what the game is about/ what kinda game it is.
Metroid is highly revered and is launching on a console with all the hype in the world and a user base that is very much so ready for a AAA title. That fact that it is a first party Nintendo game makes it an even better choice for consumers cause they all know what they are getting when they buy the game.
Bioshock is also facing WAY more competition on 360 than Metroid is on Wii.
Sure the reviews for Bioshock are phenomenol, but so were reviews for great games that should have sold millions like Beyond Good or Evil, or countless other critcally acclaimed games (Viewtiful Joe, Okami)
Hands down Metroid will sell much better than Bioshock and get way more attention for the innovations it will make in future Wii shooter controls and for graphically doing what it does on the Wii.
I just wish that Bioshock would have come out during the summer drought of either this year or next year, so that it can get the attention that it obviously deserves......
