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.

 

Niche isn't valid here, FPSs are the biggest genre right now. As for the last reason, I know you are talking about No More Heroes, which we have established 1,000 times as a success, or else there would be no sequel, or acknowledgment as Suda's best-selling game.

 

The first one is valid for most Wii games, since they seem to sell according to a different sales pattern than that of the PS360. The Conduit is allowed 10 weeks before flop announcing,only because it has to compare saleswise to Call of Duty: World at War..
