High Voltage: The Conduit wont suffer Madworld sales fate

Million said:

The highest selling FPS game on the Wii is Metroid Prime 3 ,1.53 Million sales , A more recent addition is Call Of Duty 5 which sold 1.17 Million.

Here are some considerations , to put this to rest...

-Metroid Prime Series & Call Of Duty are both very well recognised franchises , mabe COD moreso to the general consumer.
-Call Of Duty sold 5.46 Million on the 360 (more than 2X the Wii)with about 60% of the Wii's install base
-There's nothing about the Conduit that apears to apeal to the Wii Fit , Wii Play type demographic , this game is clearly aimed at the traditional gamer.
-Assuming that Conduit has as much as 50% the success Call Of Duty 5's success it will only sell around 550k

I think alot of Wii fans will be shocked/disapointed by the result.

 

If Call of Duty World at War barely broke a million sales on Wii I doubt an unproven franchise by a not so well known developer will sell huge. I persoanlly am looking forward to this game being a huge shooter fan but I don't see this being popular with general consumers. This is a core gamers game and just because it is a Teen rating doesn't mean much maybe a few extra sales but Mature and Teen games have hitorically done well with core gamers for years. I am more concerned about Red Steel 2 because it requires motion plus to play and I think that was a stupid move on Ubisoft's end and will hurt the games sales tremendously. They should have made it optional instead.
