Couldn't have said it better myself.

Well the Wii had plenty of music games, so one not standing out matters. The Wii doesn't really have many FPS, and even fewer with broad appeal.

This is good news indeed

Why is Nintendo telling us what's a success? Shouldn't Activision be the ones telling us it's a success? you know, the guys with the development budget, the marketing budget and their own set of expectations. It's odd that Nintendo had to make a statement, when it wasn't really their statement to make.

Did you actually read the comment? It was just as much about their system as it was about their game.

I love this 3rd party whining over Nintendo software being dominant and turning the console into a harsh environment.

It just proves that every generation, Nintendo software is above the 3rd party crap.

I read it, but they still shouldn't comment on something that may or may not be true. We don't know what Activisions expectations were, we don't know how much they spent making and marketing the game. Just because Nintendo thinks Goldeneye sold well, it doesn't mean that Activision will think along the same lines. As others have mentioned in this thread, Goldeneye is a remake of one of largest FPS games of the fifth generation, they could have expected 400 thousand in it's first week for all we know. 

Well... comparing to another Activision shooter, I would not call that a success. But I guess it being exclusive to Nintendo platform makes it a success. At least in Nintendo's eyes, not so sure about Activision.

Uhh... well. :D

I guess it is a success! :D I don't get why they even bother to make a wii version of the game. 20k sales first week, compared to 1,7m on hd consoles. Seems like waste of time to me.

I still don't got this game yet, I will get it next week for sure.

Yes.  It seems a bit low to be such a success.  Why do sales figure standards go down so much with Wii?  I understand their cheaper, but why does that impact the final expected numbers?  Not money wise, but penetration wise.  Hmm
