THQ declared de Blob to be a commercial success after it had sold only 200k units or so. Blue Tongue is pretty similar to High Voltage in a lot of repects. They're mid-sized (over 80 staff), live mostly on licensed IPs, and use their own propietary in-house engine.
The Conduit looks like it's a more expensive project than de Blob. Blue Tongue never set out to try to make the best visuals possible on the Wii (although before de Blob came out, I'd say the best-looking 3rd party game on Wii was Resident Evil 4 :P). 500k seems like a plausible break-even point. Of course, it will have to do better than that to be a worthwhile investment.
