I was being a bit more cynical.  I was wondering whether this "bad" game is going to be used as their excuse to move into HD development and abandon the Wii.  They appeared to take a great effort in the Conduit and maybe it didn't actually performed to their expectations so they decided to move into HD.  But given that they were so "pro-wii", they found themselves in need of an excuse to abandon the system. 

Just a thought.

I don't things work that way. For starters, nobody is going to use money to make a poor game that won't sell just so they can abandon a consoles. But if what you say was to be practical, I wonder why they would still be making the Conduit 2 and Grinder( seemingly superior version btw) for the Wii? 

Well, I believe Tournament of Legends (Gladiator AD) and the Grinder were in development before the Conduit sales results.  So they decided not to let that money go to complete waste and released this seemingly mediocre game.  Suddently the Grinder became multiplat and no details on the Wii version yet.  But if it turns out that is nothing more than what they showed before then it means that they stopped inveting in the Wii version.

As far as the Counduit 2...I don't know. It's puzzling.  But it may turn out to be a rush job.  So, let's see how it develops.
