The game sold well for a few reasons--it was hyped hugely & more importantly--it's unique. Beautiful graphics (which are a HUGE deal for many hardcore gamers), a huge world, unique concept (medieval assassin), and unique gameplay. The game was bound to sell well because it was "different" than any other game out there and entailed something everyone wants to do...(in video games)
Assassinate the enemy through stealth in a beautiful, open, large world. (With all this said, I bought the game at launch and find it sort of boring and repetitive IMO...sorry)
Well, I now only have access to a PS3 & 360...Plan on buying a wii soon (lol, if I can ever find one available!) but will probably wait until some of the major RPG's come out like Dragon Quest & Tales, etc.
Anyhow, I'm so far behind in games to play that I'm not in a huge hurry (lol, haven't even gotten a chance to finish God of War II yet!)
