Are 500k sales a success on Wii?

I would say so. i worry though about a game like conduit.

High voltage has about 120 employees. They created the quantrum 3 engine, and this game that we know of has been in development for about a year and a half. The only other games I'm aware they have been working on are those three wiiware games (ign previewed the Animales game back in June). So you can tell that i'd say 75% of the workforce works on the conduit. If that game does not make 1 million worldwide it's obvious that it wont turn a profit. ALso consider they are not publishing it themselves and that a portion will go to sega.

Does anyone know what the average pay of a senior engineer, game designer, artist, sound engineer and so forth are? Just take that into consideration and It's going to be tough for the conduit to make bank.

 

 Only 120 emplyees?!! Only 2 years to make?!! HA! thats nothing compared to Halo2 with over 300 manpower and cost 40 million to make and is on the original xbox. And with the manpower and money spent I bet the game takes atleast 3 years  to do. j/k

but seriously, the conduit will be fine!
