The Conduit's development, and High Voltage as the developer.

Any time I read about The Conduit and HVS, my belief that it's incredibly important that this game sells well solidifies. Not just sell well, but explode out of the launch gates and has relatively good legs.

Let's be honest - all 3rd party developers are watching this game. They are all watching to see if it will actually sell well. This game will give them the final proof that the Wii can move "Core" titles if the effort and polish is put into a game. This game can reverse the current developer mindset that the Wii is just "A shovelware platform" where they can make a quick buck.

The ball is in Sega's court now. We on the internet know of this game, but the masses do not. If Sega can break out a kick ass advertising campaign, market the game well and ensure its success, we can be assured that every single 3rd party dev out there will really start hammering the Wii with the truly great software we've been waiting for.

If this game doesn't sell at least 600k in the first week (and move onto becoming a million+ seller in the future), I will be severely disappointed.

No offense but i seriously hope you are wrong. If 3rd party developers are waiting for this, then it means that the next good games would should be expecting will only be released two years from now.

I'd like to think that many brilliant games are in development and that the Conduit is just the first out of the gates. If this game is as good as people are saying i think it will sell. Firstly because there are just not so many good FPS on the Wii, and though i agree that most FPS players will have be 360 owners, i think many Wii owners wouldn't mind getting their hands on a good FPS again.

Some people also underestimate the number of PS360 owners that also own a Wii on the side that probably collects dust. Even they can't deny there is something great about a good FPS with strong Wii controls. I don't see this game selling 6 million copies, but i am hoping for at least RE4 heights if the game gets good reviews.
