Ill make a bet that there will be more profit on the Conduit than on Killzone 2. I dont exactly know how much they would have to sell to recoop costs on Killzone 2, but it has to be quite a pretty penny.

 

 

kinda make what you first said about "not make up how much was spent on it" quite a hypocrisy, no?

 

Seriously people, Don't assume stuff you know nothing about. And please stick to the topic.

THe mod has spoken, keep it clean.

 

Hows that hypocritical? Killzone could sell 3 million copies, but if it didnt turn a profit, it wont be successful. On the other hand, the Conduit could sell 300,000 copies, and turn a big profit, and that would be very successful.

Profit ultimately decided what is considered successful or a failure because if a high hyped, high budget game gets okay sales, it is a failure. But if a low budget, high hyped game gets the same okay sales, it is a success.

That is why games like No More Heroes and Zack and Wiki are successes, because they were lower budget titles.

Again, you don't know Killzone/The Conduit's budget, you don't know the profit margin per game sold, and you sure don't know how many it will sell. Please stop predictions on things you know absolutely nothing about.

Go with sales number, let the marketing department to worry about the profit line, please.

 

The whole topic is about making predictions. You said which one will likely fail, and no matter how you spin it, it is failing for both the consumer and developer if a title does not make a profit. That is what makes a success or not.

We know Killzone 2 has an incredible budget, and we know the Conduit has a much smaller budget. High Voltage makes titles for the Wii because of the much lower development costs.

Saleswise, Killzone 2 might possibly, and probably, sell more than the Conduit. But, in terms of profitability, I think the Conduit will be more successful. High profits leads to a greater chance of a sequel.
