It's first two weeks of sales are quite comparable to Mario Strikers Charged, which, in North America sold 114k first week, and 64k second week, before falling to less than 10k/week in a few months.

Mario Strikers Charged has gone on to sell 2m copies.

That being said, even if it had gotten 300k sales first week, some people would come in and call it a flop, comparing it to Halo and Killzone 2. People are going to again call it a flop, or say sales are terrible when it launches in Europe (no matter what the actual sales are), and again when weekly sales fall to below 10k/week.

Funny enough that's how much KZ2 sold at launch in the US.

Oh, wow, you're right. KZ2 "only" sold 360k first week US. For some reason I was under the impression that it sold about 750k US first week. That was actually the worldwide total. :-/

 

I'm curious as to how Christmas will boost both their sales. Both are the premier exclusive online FPS for their console, so I imagine they'll make it into a number of stockings. KZ2 (and possibly Conduit too) will be overshadowed by MW2, but they should still be on several people's wishlists, especially if they get dropped to budget prices.

Yeah MW2 will be a big one, though with no MW2 on Wii announced that gives the Conduit a little more room to work with, they really should use a little money to advertise during the holidays, if nothing else parents looking for something for their teenage son will be like "Hey he likes shooters, this one got "best shooter of the year on Wii" from IGN and Ninteno magazine I'll pick this up for him"
