Why the Conduit bombed

[Jumpin]

It was a game that appealed to a nerdy audience. Wii's nerdy audience is very low compared to other gaming platforms as it took the mainstream PS2 audience and the previous kiddy Nintendo audience; the non-nerdy gaming audience. Most people playing the Wii are normal people, not the type who like to sit in front of a TV 10+ hours a day playing a game that simply involves pointing a cursor at a target and eliminating it with the theme of guns and things that are shot. Therefore, the Conduit didn't have a mass market that a game like Wii Sports Resort or Super Mario Galaxy does.
