I set such a high standard because its a classic. I think people are expecting too little of GoldenEye. Not saying it will sell 3-million units, it probubly won't but it should. Alright hear me out on the GameCube/PS2/X-Box GoldenEye:Rogue Agent sold over a million units. Rogue Agent was a horrible game compared to GoldenEye and it didn't have the marketing or support to make it big.
But when I see WaW selling 1.6 Million on Wii alone, when you factor in that over 10-million people also bought it on PS360. Think about Golden Eye which is exclusive to Wii, nobody can buy it on PS360 so that means that sales on Wii should be much higher. Also GoldenEye is as strong a brand as Call Of Duty almost considering its sales figures. So expecting it to simply outsell Reflex or even WaW is shooting alittle low. Keep in mind over 75 million people have bought Wii's thats like double the N64 and like a third larger then 360. So should we really expect to only see 1.6 million in sales?
Also considering that N64 had a much smaller user base and GoldenEye origionally sold over 8-million copies. I think NewSuperMarioBros showed that a classic game or at least classic game play and branding on the Wii/DS is capable of shifting tens of millions of units.
So is it unrealistic to think GoldenEye should sell half as good as the origional with a much larger user base and alot more branding/advertising?
