It will have a decent debut and then have some dropoffs. A bunch of people will call it a flop. Then, it will quickly develop some decent legs.

Critical: I'm thinking somewhere around an 8.2, aggregated of course. IGN will probably give the game one of its highest scores, while I see 1UP and Gameinformer not liking it as much. Gamespot will give it a decent score, but below IGN.

Sales: At least 2.5 million. I don't see any reason why this couldn't do as well as Perfect Dark on the N64.

 

No Wii FPS has sold that much before,  plus PD was riding off the steam of Goldeneye. HVS isn't exactly an FPS connosieur either.

It is almost a guarantee. House of the Dead:Overkill and Madworld would've been more difficult to market due to their nature, but Sega pulled it off.

 

The Conduit should be MUCH easier to work with, so I could see farther-reaching advertising for this one. Sonic and the Black Knight didn't get any, but it is selling itself.

 

HVS and Sega know that  TC needs it.

I know. I just wanted to make an ultra high prediction so if the game doesn't sell that much, I can say it flopped.

To be fair, there's a first time for everything. While Perfect Dark did have the same developer, the majority of people didn't care and neither do most people today. Brandname comes first, the developer...comes somewhere way behind. Not that it matters, since we'll all probably be wrong in some form or another.

i say 70 on metacritic, because i heard the main story is lacking "fun", and the levels are bland.

Sales: 60K on the first week, 400,000-600,000 lifetime. Since The Conduit 2 is rumored to come out next year.

I can see if debuting 100-150k in it's first week. 700K by the end of the year. It'll probably sell on word of mouth and not reviews.

Metacritic score 70-80ish.

We've seen games have a ton of advertising and great reviews yet they'll still pull in medicore sales. If this was a Wii launch title it would sell a million easy. But in this flooded market I can't imagine it clears 500K life time.

flooded market of wii fps? That's a first one....

If it doesn't beat CoD: WaW on metacritic then there's something wrong.. I think that game is around an 85ish..

I think it'll have a good launch, but it'll have stronger legs and will probably reach 1.5 Million when all is said and done. It should at least match Metroid I think..
