Forums - Sales Discussion - The Conduit Sales Prediction

I honestly have no idea, but I won't be surprised if it debuts to under 100k worldwide first week. People are saying it'll be huge, but that's because they post on a game sales website and are a hardcore gamer. I am sure well above 50% of Wii owners aren't even aware it exists.

Something beetween 100-200k first week: 80-90 in US 60-70 in EU 10-20 in Japan

Aren't you expecting too much?Call of Duty WoW on sold 1.2million and it's probably the biggest gaming franchise nowadays.



But war... war never changes

Between 120K-140K first week, 1.5 million lifetime sales

Now it's number 84 in amazon.com and number 42 on amazon.uk's hot future releases...

Call of Duty 3 was pretty bad, Call of Duty Advanced Warfighter (the breakout title for the series) wasn't released on the Wii, and Call of Duty World at War wasn't that great of a game ... Basically, the handling of the Call of Duty series on the Wii has been far worse than it has been on the HD consoles which has (understandably) translated into less interest in the series.



I'm not much one for prediciting exact sales numbers but here goes

90-130k NA

2.1m lifetime ww

Just a small correction: COD4 was Modern Warfare. I think Advanced Warfighter is a Ghost Recon game, although I could be wrong on that.

On another note, I thought World at War was supposed to be good? I have never played it before, so I couldn't really comment on it.

I have CoDWaW and it's a great online FPS.  Not as robust as it is on HD systems but the best currently on Wii.

I can't speak for others but I think Conduit will outsell it.  Not only is Conduit a Wii only title, it's not 'gimped' in any way.  It's a fully fleshed out online game.  But primarily the most important difference is it's rated 'T' and not 'M' which means anyone with kids will be more inclined to pick up Conduit where you shoot aliens with no blood over CoD and a LOT of Wii owners have/are kids.   So irregardless if the game is for dad or Jr Conduit is a better title to get.

Why are Wii games so hard to predict?

It seems like people are excited for this game in the internet, but I am going for 140k first week, it might surprise us, but my expectation are low.

@ BOLD: THISSSSS!!!!!

Cause everyone is all over the place man, lol. Also with the way that Wii games have a long drawn-out sales rate due to the mainstream focus it could do 50k firat week but still get 1 millie in bout a years time WITHOUT a price cut. The one thing I do know I'm not taking bets on it...



The Interweb is about overreaction, this is what makes it great!

...Imagine how boring the interweb would be if everyone thought logically?
