MadWorld did about 60k in its first month I believe.

This, along with the terrible performance in Others... The Conduit has to be one of the biggest critical and commercial flops this gen.

Bionic Commando took that crown last month.

I said one of :P

The Conduit actually had hype and advertising, though. It was really important that this game be successful.

Bionic Commando was hardly hyped at all while The Conduit has been hyped to hell since it was shown. On a side note Bionic Commando actually had a nice story while Conduit nearly put me to sleep. I would have to say just based on hype alone that Conduit is the true flop. It seems to have both poor sales and average reviews. Bionic Commando at least had higher reviews overall. The Wii likely did not help The Conduit's sales either considering the mainstream opinion overall on FPS on the system is... poor controls. Its something the system is going to have to try to overcome over time.

holy shit if this is true. What warped individuals, manipulated by twisted corporate puppet masters, would actually believe fps works WORSE on the wii? Unbelievable

My opinion, graphic whores is the reason. GRAPHICS GRAPHICS GRAPHICS, etc.



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
