Granted the demographic on 360 is probably more in line with who would be buying Goldeneye, but if it allowed for Nintendo to make revenue off of their own version in addition to revenue sharing from the 360 version, it gets around the issue of Nintendo releasing a product on a competitor's console since it then becomes essentially a 1st party/3rd party hybrid multi-platform release.
Thats exactly the problem. From what has been reported in the gaming press, neither Microsoft nor Nintendo could come to a agreement they were both happy with financially.
Unfortunately both companies are obviously greedy, and care more about how they share the profit, than giving their customers what they want.
It's true that's why, but all I've heard was related to money over it being released only on XBLA. I never heard anything about it being released on Wii.
Doesn't really solve the problem, just hypothetically it at least balances it out more. After all, if I was Nintendo I wouldn't want to give people any reason to purchase a 360 over a Wii, and having Goldeneye be an XBLA exclusive could do that.
By releasing it on both, all it would do is bring someone over from possibly purchasing a PS3, which is beneficial to both Nintendo and Microsoft.
