I can see if debuting 100-150k in it's first week. 700K by the end of the year. It'll probably sell on word of mouth and not reviews.

Metacritic score 70-80ish

We've seen games have a ton of advertising and great reviews yet they'll still pull in medicore sales. If this was a Wii launch title it would sell a million easy. But in this flooded market I can't imagine it clears 500K life time.

 

 

Flooded market of Wii FPS games.  And yet it's just casual sports party petz games according to mostof your post history.  &explodes*

 

OT: I'm predicting an 86-88 average and two to three million lifetime.

Obviously Wii consumers aren't demanding FPS games. The best selling FPS game right is Metroid Prime 3 at 1.52 million. CoD World at War is a mega popular franchise and has barely passed a million. You expect this obscure shooter to sell 3 million?

Are you huffing jenkem or just a delirious fanboy?

 

Metroid Prime 3 is more Action-Adventure than FPS. Also there are many reasons why CoD:WaW sold average on the Wii. One is that the franchise isn't as established on Wii. The only other CoD game is CoD3 and that is horrible with broken controls. While on other consoles it has Modern Warfare to precede it.  Another reason is that it is gimped compared to the other versions, and the only redeeming quality is superior controls. The only thing the conduit has against it in comparison is that it is a new ip. Despite all of that it still has reached a million, and will probably sell a half a million more before it stops. It isn't limited by being a gimped multiplat game, or having a poor predecessor. Having said that I don't think it will reach 3 million, and 2 million seems a little too high. I do think there is a good chance it will become the best selling wii fps.
