Sales - Hard core Wii sales - View Post

I think if the game is quality we are looking at a minimum of 1.5 million, about what MP3 did, but MP3 launched on a userbase of 13-14 million, this game will be launching on a 50 million userbase. If it catches on at all watch out, the Wii have a massive userbase and there are not really too many other games competing with it. I can see it doing 3 million if things go its direction.

 Why does it launching on a smaller userbase hold it back? I don't get that, Metroid Prime is still on a userbase of 50 million users. If anything it hosts for better Metroid Prime sales, as it's had over a year on the market and retailer shelves to pick up as many sales as possible, at a much lower retail price nowadays.

 Also I don't see where people are getting the idea SEGA will market this, sure they'll say they will or something like that, cause they're not going to say otherwise. Personally I can't see them breaking the band on marketing The Conduit, I think they'd see that money better spent marketing Sonic and House of the Dead. Or better yet, just not spent at all :/.
