Bond is more popular now than he was when GoldenEye launched in 1997. And Bond will still be popular as a character property in 20 years when "Calladooty" has long since left the scene.
There's no character "cooler" than Bond, he is the epitome of the alpha male.
I think it would help Nintendo, also being able to use Daniel Craig in live action commercials would also bring a lot of class/prestige to their marketing.
The game's haven't sold as well, but really no one's made a true AAA quality Bond game since Goldeneye on the N64.

Doesn't matter when it comes to the stigma of movie based games. And people have tried to make AAA quality bond games. None have sold. The character is popular, but the games don't have a shot.

There is no stigma against good games period.
Trying to make a AAA quality game and actually delivering one is a big, big (biiiiig) difference.
Most of the Bond games since GoldenEye (N64) have been mediocre to above average. But not great.
GoldenEye on Wii still did quite OK, I would say Resident Evil 4 and Monster Hunter Tri are the only "core" Wii third party titles that sold better and RE4 benefitted a lot from being released earlier in the Wii lifecycle while the iron was hot and even things like Red Steel were selling OK. By fall 2010, the Wii's brand was into decline.
VGC has it at 1.79 million on the Wii, had it came out in fall 2008 or even 2009, I think it would've sold 2.5-3+ million quite easily.
