I wouldn't call The Conduit a system seller, though I'd say it has the potential to do well. It won't open with many sales, but if the game is exceptional, the legs may carry it over a million. As for CoD5, I agree with 1-2mil.
| Millennium said: The Conduit probably won't make a visible dent in system sales. It can't: the Wii is still selling out everywhere, and you can't sell consoles that don't exist. Besides, a system-seller needs a strong brand behind it. The Conduit doesn't: as the only game in its franchise thus far, there has been no opportunity to build up the brand. FF1, while certainly popular, wasn't a system seller either, nor were GTA or Halo. |
No, I wouldn't go that far. There are plenty of non-sequels that sold systems - see Super Mario Bros, Wii Sports, Tetris, Pokemon, Brain Training, Nintendogs, Goldeneye, etc.
