It will sell just Fine, it did not start off well because the game simply is not as good as people hoped. It will sell a million so it would do fine.

I presume we won't see impressive sales until a price drop. $50 is too much for a mediocre FPS, but $20 will make this a million seller.

The conduit is not mediocre. Actually is pretty decent and more than I expected from High Voltage Software, a company with little experience in FPS actually did something good with their own IP.

It has many flaws, but that's what I expected from this game. They learned as they developed. Much like the develoipers of Killzone on the PS2 (which had lower firts 2 week sales than the conduit) and then made Killzone 2
