Why the Conduit bombed

Notice that the Conduit has sold the least amount of copies out of these four?  How can it not be considered a flop?  It doesn't matter that the other three games had much, much, much, much, much, much higher budgets.  It just matters that it sold less.  Also, the fact that the Conduit was only released in America and the others were released world wide isn't of any relevance either. 

Wait what? You really can't ignore that fact. Less budget means less sales are required to draw equal profit. Not to mention the games you compared to were much higher rated and better games due to the bigger budget. Why not compare it to something on wii that REALLY flopped. You don't think its significant that they probably made profit already in the first two weeks when the rule with wii games is that majority of sales occur over time rather than the first week.

He was being sarcastic. If someone points out a flaw in one's own argument, and then pretends it doesn't matter, in that particular way, it's sarcasm. See Stephen Colbert.
