Forums - Sales Discussion - Can The Conduit outsell Resistance 2?

Strategyking92 on 14 February 2009

The conduit won't even sell 750k. Chances are it won't sell more than 500k.



And that's the only thing I need is *this*. I don't need this or this. Just this PS4... And this gaming PC. - The PS4 and the Gaming PC and that's all I need... And this Xbox 360. - The PS4, the Gaming PC, and the Xbox 360, and that's all I need... And these PS3's. - The PS4, and these PS3's, and the Gaming PC, and the Xbox 360... And this Nintendo DS. - The PS4, this Xbox 360, and the Gaming PC, and the PS3's, and that's all *I* need. And that's *all* I need too. I don't need one other thing, not one... I need this. - The Gaming PC and PS4, and Xbox 360, and thePS3's . Well what are you looking at? What do you think I'm some kind of a jerk or something! - And this. That's all I need.

True, however, COD is also available with overall better features on many other platforms. TC is exclusive.

Wow, I think people have too high expectations for the Conduit.

I want it to do well but I can't really see it passing 500k world wide.

 Well dont know about Wii but check World at war on ps3 vs Resistance 2 where world at war has already outsold it with over 1 million.

Thats not stopped COD WAW outselling GeOW 2 on the 360, if COD WAW cannot do it The Conduit stands no chance.

Look at the sales of Viking: Battle for asgard if you want any indication of sales. Sega doesn't market anything. "But the conduit has hype! And the market conditions are better for it!" All I can say is that we'll see..

depends on 3 things really. advertisement, reviews, and word of mouth in those orders. Also the conduit is lucky in that it has no competition for fps at the time it comes out.



I TAKE NO SIDES

One way or the other, some people should be prepared to admit they were badly wrong about the Conduit when the time comes, whether they were far too low or far too high(the predictions vary wildly).

Without local multi-player, I don't think it'll be a break-out success, but it should make one or two million if it's good enough to have a strong word-of-mouth effect.



A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.

@Tbone , RPG, and strategyking,

Again, COD on Wii has to compete with other versions on other platforms THAT HAVE BETTER FEATURES.

I wasn't referring to cod on ps3 vs resistance. cod is simply a better game. But, you can't say that cod on wii did less than resistance 2 as the people who would buy the wii game probably bought the PS360 version since its a lot nicer.

That won't be the case for TC, it won't have any competition on any platform. As long as they don't screw it up, it should easily sale a few million.
