Could The Conduit Be in for a Rough Ride at Retail?

The Conduit is the first real test for third party exclusives on the Wii. There will be NO excuses if it performs badly.

 

If it bombed you know the same old excuses pinned on every game would pop up.

 

"Wii games don't have big opening, it will have legs!"

 

"Niche"

 

"New IP"

 

"Sales are very small but this is there biggest seller, it's a screaming success!"

 

 

 

etc etc.

Nobody could ever claim that The Conduit is niche, HVS have a game that's sold almost 1 million copies (like 980k atm iirc), but it is a new IP and will most likely have legs. If it has a crap opening and no legs, however, then you can talk.
