I think, deep down inside, Vito knew Michael was the only son capable of becoming the Don. Time and time again he tried to groom Sonny, but Sonny was either distracted or disinterested (like when Sonny's looking out the window at the wedding instead of paying attention to Vito's Bonasera decision, or Sonny banging Ms. Mancini etc...)

Vito may have liked for Michael to become "Senator Corleone, Governor Corleone", but for his Empire to last beyond his lifetime, he knew Michael had to be the one to carry the torch, or "pull the strings".
