This has been covered by the news room, but whatever, it was a while ago, it don't matter.
Ah, sorry. I forgot to do a thorough search. The article was posted on the second of this Month and I didn't see it on the front page here so I figured it was new.

Its acceptance by anyone who isn't a twilight fanperson all hinges on if it's good. Hell, if it's a really, really good game, then I'd play it. Hell, I played Chronicles Of Riddick even though I HATED the movie. Pitch Black was good though.
So yeah, it's all about the quality. I imagine it will be apocalyptically popular with its target audience regardless, although the Avatar game has showed that just because something is linked with a very popular piece of media, irregardless of whether it's good like Avatar or not very good like Twilight, it's not necessarily going to do well. Still, never underestimate teenage girls.
I agree that it would depend on the quality. I heard about the Twilight MMO which I think may work with the series, though I don't know if this may work for a single-player game that is on an Xbox 360 or Nintendo DS. They would have to relate the story and events of the game to the movie and that may not be attractive for most movie-games being action based.
On the other hand, movie-games like the "Lord of the Rings" games (referring to "The Two Towers" and "Return of the King") focused a lot on memorable scenes in the film yet served quite well as a game. The GBA versions were also pretty interesting to me as they made it more like a "Diablo" game with some of the memorable items in that film (like "Sting") as unique items.
I'm not sure how they would make a good quality game out of the Twilight series, but if the game-play is good enough for me then I may play it.
Actually that raises an interesting question: If the game-play in a Twilight game was good, yet it still used the same story from the Movies/Books, would that make people accept the Twilight stories more?
