Godfather Sales (The Wii Factor)

I don't think in this case it would be about motivating people to buy two versions, since sales we're originally poor. Recapturing the 150,000 people that bought it on the 360 wouldn't be a big score. It really comes down to getting people into it that never paid attention to it originally, and people who don't own the other systems it was released on. I think a big part of the poor sales was that drab setting. It's kind of lackluster looking, although that's kind of what New York looked like back then. I like it, I think it puts in that world. But I can understand the lack of appeal compared to the much more vibrant and colorful worlds of GTA and even Scarface. But the emphasis placed so heavily on the gameplay this time around may set it far enough apart. It may night, but being the first sandbox Wii game I figured it warrented discussion as it's sales may be pointed to by many third parties in the future when determining to bring mature/sandbox games to the Wii. Although it's almost a win/draw for Nintendo, it either sales well and they motivate others to make sand-box games with fun controls, or it sells poorly and everyone rights it off with the rest of the poor selling Godfather titles. Personally I'm betting it will sell well, or at least better then the X360 version.
