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

Care to place a wager?

 

Sega's martketing will play a very pivital role.  If they push it like they promise to and get the retai0 lchannel on board then it will certainly pass R2.

maybe yes maybe not, Conduit can have more legs or sell only at launch, really hard to tell



don't mind my username, that was more than 10 years ago, I'm a different person now, amazing how people change ^_^

I doubt that//considering the Wii's audience//I figure the only way this game will sell or outsell Resistance 2 is if Nintendo advertises this game really well and word of mouth plays some part//if not then it will be a sleeper//I am buying it regardless but its just this title doesn't look like it will do anything special for the Wii userbase//it kinda reminds me of Metroid Prime in a way.

No. Not a freaking chance. It's like saying zack and wiki still has a chance to pass 1 mill. It doesn't, BTW.

I doubt the conduit will beat CoD Wii sales.



Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.

its got a shot at it, though part of me thinks HOTD overkill has a part to play and i'll explain how, over the last week sega have been advertising HOTD like crazy, i've seen more ads for it than probably any other sega game apart from mario&sonic, so if HOTD (which is probably sega's first big hardcore game on the wii) sells well they'll probably put up a lot of money marketing the conduit giving it a good chance of selling very well, however if HOTD doesn't they probably wont bother spending much to push the conuit and it'll be destined for mediocre (though not bad) sales

It definately has the ability to and Sega can really market a game well - I don't know what that guy that says they can't is talking about.. Or maybe they advertise in Australia and no where else :P

If it's marketed well, and it is a game that gets above 85 on metacritic (which means it'll get good word of mouth) then it can top 2 Million.

I think the worst case scenario is about 1.1 Million, just edging out Red Steel.



 

Tremble on 15 February 2009

I don't think the conduit will top the million, so I'd say no.



ECC on 15 February 2009

the conduit will out sell it by 3 mill.
