conduit didn't bomb stop being a hater

It was outsold this week by Mario Kart Wii and that game's over a year old.

Add that to my list of reasons why the Conduit bombed.

Does that mean it is dead meat. No? Quit being a hater. Mario Kart has strong legs and is much more well known than the Conduit. It didn't bomb. Do me a favor and wait and see how well it sales later. Also quit comparing the conduit with big FPS games that are much more well known than the conduit

Strong legs?  Mario Kart's outselling the Conduit and it's been out for a year.  How can a game that's being outsold by a game that's been out for over a year possibly be considered a hit?  Why shouldn't I compare the Conduit with other shooters?  What should I compare it to?  RPG's?  Point and click adventures?  Sports franchises?  What should I compare it to?
