It's not that it'd fail. But the game didn't sell terribly well on the XBOX 360 and PS3 (I know it wasn't a good port). So why is it automatic that the game will sell excellent because it's on the Wii?

PS3 40k
XBOX 360 570k

I just wanted to know why the game would make lots of money being remade on the Wii. If a FPS doesn't sell on the XBOX 360 or the PS3, why would it sell on the Wii?

570K likely did make valve a lot of money. I mean it was just a port afterall. It just needs to cover the cost of porting since the PC version likely covered all the other development costs many times over. A port would likely need to sell like... what... 300K to make a lot of money on the Wii? Considering how starved the Wii is for FPS it seems like it'd have a very good chance to surpass those numbers by a good margin. Red Steel sold a Million. If Red Steel can sell a million. Orange box can probably sell 300-500K. Medal of Honor heroes didn't sell... but it also received zero advertising.
