I'm actually surprised it did this good. I was almost positive that Black Ops (Wii) was going to eat up all the sales and I never would've thought that both of them would do well. Congrats GoldenEye!!

Here's hoping Conduit 2 gets at least half a mil

If it's marketed, then easily. The original will, so...

I reckon this'll reach 2.3mil, for reference:

-Black Ops (1.5mil)

-Conduit 2 (1mil)

-Conuit (500k)

 

The grinder (700k)

Epic Mickey (3mil)

Monster Hunter Tri (2.1mil)

 

So that means, for good, well advertised Wii-games, 3rd parties can top 2mil!

You think Conduit 2 will reach the 1 million mark? It definitely has the potential too, but yeah, I guess it all depends on how well it's advertised. I hope it does.... HVS deserves it.

@conegamer  you think Conduit 2 will do 1mil??? the original couldnt do that and it didnt have the best of receptions. I think it will do just as well or worst, i dont see alot of people checking for it after the so-so original. not when you can get GE or COD which im about 90% sure is going to be better than Conduit 2



Very good indeed :)



Above: still the best game of the year.

Unfortunetly I bought the game on sale for 39.99$ I played it a few times but thought the controls were alittle laggy. I played the first three levels then turned it off to play my other new games. I ended up trading it into EBGames for 30$ so I only lost 10$.

Why did I sell, not because the game sucked but I realized after Boxing Day that I went 1,400$ into debt over Christmas. I desperatly wanted to put money down on my 3DS. So I sold it to EBGames to put down on my 3DS. No offence Bond just buisness.

There is also the factor of doors being open. For the longest time, gamers thought the Wii had either no FPS, or if they were even aware of it, the Wii versions were inferior overall to anything on the other systems. Now there are games on the system that gamers are being aware of.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs

I expected a little better, one 1 million aint bad considering Black Ops came out around the same time.

As I stated, FPS awareness and interest on the Wii was low due to neglect. The games need to be on there, and clearly good, or else gamers won't buy them.

(To Pandora as well )

There's a few things which have changed between then and now:

  • Userbase is bigger, more customers
  • Goldeneye has passed a million, proves to customers that the Wii CAN do exclsuive FPS', and well
  • The sequel looks much better, reviews may push it.
  • Conduit 2 has been promised to be advertised far more than the original.
Goldeneye was released a few months ago, gamers want something else. If it's advertised well, andgets above, say, 80-85 on Metacritic, it should reach a million sooner or later.
I was burned by the original, but I'll be getting the sequel

You are far more forgiving than I am. I am never touching another HVS game.

I wouldn't blame you; their games have been poor-average at best. But Conduit 2 and (The Wii version of) The Grinder look to be taking steps towards making it a great 3rd party dev...

 

 

...hopefully...
