The facts are:
1-Sales of the Call of duty 3 and World at war shows that for more that any fanboy of Sony or Microsoft want to say "Wii is only for mothers and children" (what i think that is stupid to say in the vgchartz) THERE IS an audience for FPS. And come on guys... look the sales of Killzone 2 and the sales of the Call of duty 3 and World at war for the Wii. Is almost the SAME CRAP, and i love my wii, but Call of duty 3 and World at war for the Wii is a crap, in the wii has better FPSs.

2-The Conduit will have commercials in the TV showing a great storyline (yes, for who that think that this game sucks only because is on the wii, you are wrong, sorry), if the Wii don't has teenagers that like core games and has a lot of executives(exemple) that want to play the Wii casually, this guy don't have time to see what games are coming to the wii, so he buys any crap that appears. A commercial in the TV is a great thing.

3-The Conduit looks MUUUUUCH better than Call of duty 3 and 4 (sorry COD). This game is about government conspiracies, and that sort of thing makes success on the U.S. . The sentence in the storyline video "How can Mankind fight a war, the enemy has already won" sounds cliche huh? But not for a FPS latterly, because what we see in the new consoles is a lot of FPS with the second war or something like that.

4-Killzone 2 is a great game, is a shame that he sold only 1 million, you can't say "woow he sold 1 million, this is enough", ok, you can say this thing, but not for a game like Killzone 2 in the plataform of the FPS games. Who will say that this game is selling fine? Give me a break, he did a great first week, but he died with the time, is having legs, but pretty short legs, believe me, Killzone 2 will not pass 2 million (but he deserves, I admit this)

5-Install Base

6-Hype, and ok, hype means nothing, right? But in this thread have people saying that this game don't have hype, this is because this is not a Nintendo website, go to any article of any Nintendo website (gonintendo maybe), you will see 100~200 posts saying: "woow first day for me".

Results-Install Base + Proves that the Wii has gamers that like FPS (with the Call of duty sales) different from what the guys that hates the wii wants to speak + Commercials in the TV to attract even the men who play casually and are among its 30 ~ 50 years and others + A great storyline showing what the America loves to see (government conspiracies) in great commercials of TV (oh man, the first Trailer showing the storyline looks like a Movie that will go to the the movie theater) = Great sales

tell me that this game will do a bad job in the sales now (if you hates the wii and is a fanboy, you will ignore the sales of the Call of duty and will say that i am wrong and the Wii only has children and mothers).

Here is the Storyline video, tell me if this video don't looks like a movie trailer:

now i have nothing more to say

1. People claim that The Conduit is a better game than Call of Duty for the Wii...but is everyone else also forgetting that it doesn't matter at all? How did Call of Duty 3 and Red Steel sell so well if Wii owners were really so nit-picky about quality? The Conduit may end up being a better game (I still don't think anyone should be stating it will be better like it's a fact), but brand name was behind Call of Duty.

2. Advertising isn't going to do much for this game. It will definitely help the sales, but it's not like it's going to make the game a huge success.

3. Americans love government conspiracies? So what about the top selling shooter series, such as Halo, Gears, and Call of Duty? Are those full of government conspiracies? Let me tell you just right now that they're really not. And most of the shooter games we've seen recently are modern or futuristic, thanks to the success of the 360 shooter trio (Halo, Gears, Call of Duty 4) and the success of Valve's games.

4. Killzone 2 is not a person. It's not a "he." I'm fine with english not being your first language, just thought I'd mention that. Killzone 2 has sold 1.5 million, not 1 million. And it's done that in a relatively short amount of time. You really don't believe it will pass 2 million when it only has another 500k to go? Suit yourself, but you'll just be wrong.

5. Really helped World at War, didn't it?

6. If internet hype was the deciding factor, than LittleBigPlanet would have sold better than Gears of War 2 or any other big game in 2008. And this site does have a lot of Nintendo fans, so don't make excuses.

Results: Pfft, whatever.

 

 

 

1- These were the first games that seemed interesting to be used with the wii mote. Ubisoft eluded in the beginning everyone who sought a good experience with wii mote in a FPS. You can't compare these titles in this form, and i don't understand your point, if they bought a crap game, why not a better game later? What is the barrier? Red Steel was one of the FIRST TITLES in this genre that uses the wii mote for the Wii, Call of duty has a great name and reputation, even being a crap it will sells good

2- Of course that advertising will help the game, and of course that it will be significant.

3- You do not attend TV shows? what is the same crap that appears in every action TV show? Prison Break has a conspiracies (is not of the government, but is conspiracies), 24 has a lot of conspiracies, X-Files has a lot of conspiracies (and this game reminds me of X-Files a little). I think you don't know what is conspiracies, Gears of war don't has conspiracies (i have a xbox 360).

4-ok, sorry, I only speak german, japanese and portuguese, my english is a crap. And Killzone 2 now is selling over 10k in each week? :)

5- Nop, but with advertising this will help The conduit

6- I am not saying that this deciding the Factor, but i am saying that this is better than a "this is a crap", hype is always better than nothing.

Results: You are seeing this by the wrong side

@edit

oh, and thanks for the advice, i really have to improve my english.

1. Okay then, but why do people still buy bad Wii games? Take for example the fitness genre. Why do people buy the Jillian Michaels game instead of Wii Fit or My Fitness Coach (besides Jillian Michaels herself, woohoo!)? It's because other factors make them want to buy it, and they may not know the quality of the game or put much importance in quality. I'm just saying that the majority of the userbase aren't the type of people you'd find on game forums and aren't going to obsess about ratings and quality. It's not a bad thing, it's just something that comes with being the market leader.

2. Of course it will help, but it won't be significant.

3. This is a videogame, not a TV show. They're two very different things. I know what a conspiracy is, and I know that Gears of War doesn't have any. I'm not even sure what you're getting at here.

4. Fair enough on the language part, but Killzone 2 is selling fine.

5. World at War had tons of advertising on the Wii. I saw dozens of commercials for it. And yet it still didn't get anywhere close to the PS3 version.

6. I'm sure advertising and hype will have an affect on the game's sales, they'll have to. But they won't be significant.

Results: No, you are. And I'm sure you'll get the hang of English, just keep working on it.
