Michael Pachter of Wedbush Morgan spoke with C&VG and thinks that the rumoured Goldeneye remake from Activision will not sell well on Wii:
“Given the track record of ‘hardcore’ Wii exclusives, I would bet that sales are underwhelming. It’s a funny thought to resurrect a 10 year-old brand – maybe longer – and keep it a Nintendo exclusive. It is unlike Activision to do an exclusive, and I am particularly surprised that they would do it with Goldeneye. I completely agree that most of the original audience is pretty hardcore, and think a Rare game on the 360 would have a better chance. Perhaps this is all due to the James Bond license, but… a Wii exclusive is odd.”
On a more positive note, Pachter thinks Nintendo could steal the show at E3 this year with their new 3D-enabled handheld:
“[Nintendo may] steal the show with its upcoming new handheld – the 3DS.”
On price cuts, Mr. Pachter is not holding his breath for a Wii price drop but is certain a DS reduction will come soon in the US:
