How big will The Conduit have to open to NOT have cries of "it's a bomb!"?

outside the Internet no one knows about this game so I cant see it selling very well on less the have a huge marketing Campaign

 

I remember Gears 1 had ads running for weeks after the game came out. So if Sega does even half that, the game is a smash hit. If not, then more niche sales.

The original Gears of War isn't anywhere close to what The Conduit is.

 

 

In what way? I'm missing some context here.
