- Conduit sales are very important to not just SEGA, but other publishers in general
- other companies are looking to sales of de Blob and Deadly Creatures to see how they will approach the Wii in the future

The above two comments do not make any sense. If publishers are indeed this stupid then they need to go out of business.

Call of Duty:World at War is selling very well on the Wii. I guess this title is going to be ignored like the sales of Nintendo's own core titles and the sales of Capcom's core titles, Resident Evil 4 Wii and Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles.

 

Call of Duty and Resident Evil are all huge franchises with established followings. I'm sure even some casual gamers would have heard of them, so their sales don't matter to publishers. It's encouraging, sure, but publishers aren't worried about whether or not bring their major franchises to the Wii.

They want to see what sales of new IP hardcore games can do. There haven't been too many of those quality traditional hardcore games on Wii. Well, No More Heroes was one, but that didn't go so well, which is why they're going to be looking at de Blob and Deadly Creatures.

The comments make perfect sense, considering the Wii isn't exactly loaded with million-selling quality hardcore games.

 

As a side note, I wonder what the Retro Studios game will be. It's gotta be a Nintendo franchise, why else would they be so excited about it, but which one?
