Ok. I finally see the famous NPD data and the Wii fanboys getting slapped because of the number of sales by the HD fanboys..... Oh boy.
For the ending week of June, the 9 days days in which the conduit debuted on June, doesn't sound bad. Based on the current data, It will reach the number of core gamers on the wii in a relatively short time. The majority of Wii owners do not track sites like IGN, Gametrailers or Gamepro and of course they do not read magazines. Their lives are very busy for such things and many of them don't even know this game was released.
Sega stated that they now want to promote the game in other kind of media, the non-gameing media that Nintendo uses to promote Wii, Wii fit , wii music and maybe Wii Sports Resort. Sega wants them to know they should check the game out. This can be achieved witout any viral marketing nor any massive advertising. Placing the right ads on the right media can invite Wii owners to get the game for them of their teen children (to make them stop being crybabies on why they bought a Wii :P). It all depends on Sega's marketing strategy and the genius of their marketers.
Sega couldn't do this with Madworld and House of the Dead Overkill for obvious reasons. But with the Conduit they can. I wish them luck
