Forums - Sales Discussion - Will The Conduit atomize Halo 3's opening record?

Stefan.De.Machtige on 24 May 2009

The real question is: How many will they ship in the first week? I guess 200k max. Are there any numbers on pre-orders?

Halo is clearly out of the conduit's reach. I assume this is just a joke thread. Then again maybe not assume. Yeah, i'm pretty sure.

This is the number that The Conduit needs to transcend within 5 days in order to become the fastest-selling console first-person shooter in the history of mankind.

Do you think it can make it? I would not be surprised if it were to achieve it - Wii games sell tremendously well these days and it's no surprise they're dominating all software charts - the games on the other consoles often don't stand a chance - that is something incredible Nintendo has accomplished.

As stated, I think this one can do really good - it's an anticipated first-person shooter on the crazy monster console that is the Nintendo Wii.

A cool guy with glasses - will he be the new king?

 

Well, seeing as that you have all negative answers so far maybe you know the answer? I would guess it'll sell less than a million life time. Its not a umpteenth reiteration of a 20 year old franchise, it wont sell huge numbers on the Wii.

Mario and Zelda say hi, with tons of enthusiasm

OT: No. FPS's don't even sell that well on the Wii...and you want to talk about breaking Halo's record? Just, no

It’s a shame there aren’t many guys agreeing with me here. That’s because you’re more professional, but I will bump this thread if I’m correct and declare ownage on you guys. You clearly have no idea how well a Wii game may sell.

@ TheSoldier00 )

and you clearly have no idea of Wii games sales patterns, which is - relatively small opening numbers, but very strong legs with almost constant sales over month and years

the huge opening you predict is absolutely unrealistic for a Wii game, because not even Wii Fit, Mario Galaxy, Zelda:TP, Mario Kart or Smash Bros. Brawl reached those numbers

This is clearly a joke thread.

Hell no. Don't you remember how much hype Halo 3 had?

Hype has got nothing to do with this. An example would be Grand Theft Auto IV. It outdid Halo 3's opening record without hype.

LMFAO!!! GTAVI had no hype?! Are you kidding me?

Just because there wasn't a beverage made after it doesn't mean a game isn't hyped to unholy hell. Otherwise it would have sold less than 1 mil it's opening week. GTA is a part of Pop Culture now and even SouthPark helped to hype GTA Chinatown Wars.

Sorry for the lack of me even trying to understand what you just said.

It'll be lucky to get a TENTH of Halo 3's first week sales...
