Good times for Vivendi and WoW (and Wii?) |
Ó
There's a glitch in the Matrix because history keeps repeating itself. "World of Warcraft gives a boost to the sales figures of Vivendi SA is a video game developer; formerly known as Vivendi Universal">Vivendi Games," the headlines say. Way back in July of 2006 we said the same thing. For those of you who don't know, Vivendi Games is the publisher of Warcraft; Blizzard Entertainment is the developer (it's owned by Vivendi).World of Warcraft sold almost a million copies in 2006, while the Burning Crusade expansion pack sold 2.4 million copies on its first day (it was launched earlier this month). If you recall, the WoW user base passed the 8 million mark.
Scarface: The World Is Yours was another title that helped the publisher bring home the bacon.
The game has been released for the PC, PS2, and Xbox. If the buzz that it's coming to the Wii comes true, that should only help sales even more.
We couldn't help but chuckle in agreement at what dop-l (Unregisted) said to the other commenters in "Scarface on Wii" article:
I hATE THE CONTRADICTIONS, ON ONE HAND EVERYONE IS LIKE OH NINTENDO'S KIDDY IMAGE. SO NINTENDO GOES THRU THE TROUBLE OF GETTING MATURE CONTENT ON THE Wii BY GET'N GODFATHER, DRIVER PARALLEL LINES, SCARFACE, AND WORKING ON GTA AND EVERYONE *****ES ABOUT IT. I SAY GOOD JOB NINTENDO FOR BROADINING YOUR HORIZONS AND MAKING SURE THAT THE Wii HAS SOMETHING FOR EVERYBODY. KUDOS!!!
And like ssj3fox said, "it's good to see support." Well, Vivendi owns Blizzard, Sierra Entertainment, Massive Entertainment, Radical Entertainment, High Moon Studios, and Swordfish Studios. We hope Scarface is just the start, and if the Wii community has a positive reaction to Vivendi's Scarface, we hope we'll see more Vivendi games on the Wii in the future.
Vivendi reported a revenue growth of 25% from 2005 to 2006. This year should be even better.

Scarface: The World Is Yours is purely evil! It's sickening! I saw the movie of Scarface once and only watched it for 15 minutes or something. What a horror heartless and merciless sickening I ever seen. This director is horrible and stupid. I do not understand why people like a blood lust to enjoyed it because its fake or fantasy ? Ridiculous. I do not support this game because this is sickening and heartless!
I saw the movie a few years back, I thought it was rather tame and boring compared to gangster movies that are much more recent
