Well i think people have to be reasonable, if Conduit and Madworld live up to expectations and are good games, they will sell well (like most of Good Wii games tend to) because people will buy them, if they are average the sales could be average, devs must deliver if they do then the Public will follow.
Conduit has a chance to become first huge online Shooter on the Wii, it has potential but potential is not everything. It has some significant hype (especially for 3rd party title on the Wii) therefore it should sell.
Madworld wont sell as well as the Conduit because of its style, and being an extremely niche title, but it should still make some nice profit for the Studio, and appease the gamers on the Wii. It will be a Win win situation.
Dont expect some mad front loaded sales of GeoW 2 or something, but a decent openning and great legs after. If games are good for Conduit i expect sales at least of 1.5 mln (thats very conservative), and Madworld around 800k (also conservative) but if they live up to expectations they can sell much much more.
But i do agree this are important releases to certain extent, and could influence other studios, however if they are bad games people cannot blame the userbase for not buying them.
