Forums - Nintendo - are titles like Madworld and The Conduit going to actually sell?

Madworld I'm afraid will probably be lucky to sell 500k. Though it will still make a profit. The Conduit I could see sell from anywhere betwenn 500k-1.5M. Maybe even more if they advertise it enough.

While I can see why Madworld will reach about 500k I'm really hoping it sells at least a million.

I'm much more excited about Madworld then The Conduit for sure. I'm loving the whole idea of the graphics and the premise. It's like Sin City the video game, which hopefully won't suck. As for people who are saying its violence for violence's sake, really, did you pick up Halo or Gears of War or God of War because you got to fight some aliens/creatures with a very ill conceived plot? At least SEGA is doing the right thing by not throwing in some crappy story to try to hide what the game is all about.

The Conduit on the other hand is just another shooter, and while that's great for the wii I get shooters that far surpass anything on the consoles on my PC so I'm far less excited about the game.

Most likely no, but either one or both could be a breakout success given the right amount of press and good reviews.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

Conduit is a potential huge seller for the Wii. It will easily top 1M.

The other games are more in the 500K range, if that. Basically, it has as much with them not being everyone's cup of tea as anything else.

Still I am sure most developers would love for their games to hit half-a-million.

These titles are almost guaranteed half a million each. Look how popular they are just amongh the Nintendo fans.  MadWorld will easily surpass Okami's total sales and will likely fall in line with Viewtiful Joe's success.  Hype alone sold titles like Red Steel and Lair (granted, being launch titles helped a lot), but these are the two highest anticipated titles for the Wii right now--and it's all good hype.  Not the negativity that surrounds titles like Duke Nukem Forever or Sadness.  This is the kind of pre-launch hype that turned Bioshock, Resistance: Fall of Man, and Resident Evil 4 into successes.  That will really help their success.

 



Madworld will likely sell 800k, it can even make a million. For The Conduit, I expect sell of about a million because its hyped a lot. I don't know about Disaster, Nintendo has to advertise it, and get more hype.

I dont think they will sell well at all.

The Conduit.Motion Plus requirement ,that puts aside probably 90% of the Wii users,most of wich wont even consider buying a new add on to play a game.Plus many of the potential buyers probably have a 360 or PS3 too so as good as The Conduit may look for a Wii game it looks still way worse that a mileage FPS on those consoles ...

Madworld.It will get banned in many places ,have a +18 rating ,and most of the BT-Wii Sports/Fit users wont be interested in it at all.Plus ,we dont even know if it will be any good.



LTD they should each sell 500k but more likely 300k but they have the potential to sell upwards of 1M.

Wii Motion Plus will come with Wii Sports Resort for free, basically.  Tons of people, hardcore and casual alike, will have that device, and I'm sure, in the future, Wiimotes will probably come with it standard. 

The Conduit actually doesn't look "way worse" than all that many other FPS titles--clearly, E3 showed that it was mistaken for an Xbox360 game on several occasions.  Good graphics are good graphics, and good gameplay is good gameplay.  The graphics whores that overlook The Conduit just because it's "not as good as X360 or PS3" not only don't matter where sales are concerned, but are hardly worth their weight in shit anyway.  If all you care about are HD graphics, all you're doing is advertising how small your brain really is.
