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

Considering the amount of hype and developer expectations (10 million lifetime), it should sell at least 750k first week.

That was obviously a joke from the guys of HV. Am i to presume that you already think it bombed, you being a x-box fanboy?

Well, that is the expectations I've read from the developers. Do you have some newer link to other kind of numbers?

Bull. You're just imagined what you wanted to read. Show me the link where you read that.

Oh, wait. Is it this interview you twisted in your wii-dislike? I do think so.

interview 9 feb. 2009

The Bitbag: If it's a big hit, could (The Conduit) possibly go over to the PS3 or 360?

Ganofsky: I wouldn't rule anything out. There's definitely a market there. There's a time and a place for everything. If Nintendo, SEGA and High Voltage come to an understanding, I think The Conduit could become the Halo for the Wii.

Nope, no 10 million. That statement doesn't mention numbers but talks about the conduit becoming the primary shooter (and a possible franchise) on the wii. Since Nintendo has no (real) shooter IP, there is a chance and possible room for it. He's not saying it's halo 3 or something. Is he? Even if he means some degree of numbers, then certainly the one from Halo 1. I believe that did some 2-3 million on the x-box (can't find the numbers now). If Sega does a good marketing job, it could approach it. And that has to be seen.

But i repeat they did not say, anywhere, it would sell 10 million units. In fact i can't find any sales predictions from HV. They speak about the 50 million wii installbase and all that, but apparently now expected sales.

On a saleswebsite you better backup your claims since this is all about numbers and records.
