Well according to Sega Merch representative the game has a strong start:

What he will give us is this: "Though it is still early days in the retail life of the game, we are seeing very strong week one sales and being the best shooter on the Wii means that we think we will see this game out there and selling well for a long time." And when we press him for specific sales projections, he declines, saying only that SEGA does not release those numbers.

We can always point to anecdotal evidence which backs up Ratcliffe's claims -- specifically, reports of The Conduit selling out at retailers and lots of talk about the game on message boards and blogs, both of which are good signs. Sales tracking site VGchartz projects that the shooter amassed sales of nearly 100,000 units since it launched, information which cannot be verified until official NPD reports hit in the near future. What can be verified, however, is The Conduit's strong online presence. SEGA has previously said that online activity for the game is very high, which suggests that Wii owners are, in fact, picking the title up and connecting to play against others.

They are clearly lying. They wouldn't admit to the game flopping so it clearly must have.

I know this because the internet told me.

 

Yea, there is no way this game did well by selling only 150k in two weeks. Sega is just trying to save face. You'd figure after 3 flops, they would learn to stop trying to promote "core" Wii games anymore.  I have never seen a company lie so much, the game was a bomb.

 

Trust me, I'm on the internet.
