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

stof on 02 September 2008

@ Diomedes - it will support Wii Motion plus, not require it. There's no way that extra option could reduce sales.



I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do. 

Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

I'm telling you, people: it depends entirely upon how well hyped/advertised they are.



"I mean, c'mon, Viva Pinata, a game with massive marketing, didn't sell worth a damn to the "sophisticated" 360 audience, despite near-universal praise--is that a sign that 360 owners are a bunch of casual ignoramuses that can't get their heads around a 'gardening' sim? Of course not. So let's please stop trying to micro-analyze one game out of hundreds and using it as the poster child for why good, non-1st party, games can't sell on Wii. (Everyone frequenting this site knows this is nonsense, and yet some of you just can't let it go because it's the only scab you have left to pick at after all your other "Wii will phail1!!1" straw men arguments have been put to the torch.)" - exindguy on Boom Blocks

This 2 games won't break any sales records but both will bring enough money to justify spending them on future Wii development.

I think the conduit will not sure about madworld though.



Pretendo on 02 September 2008

The Cnduit should sell over 1 million. Madworld will sell around 500k.
Maybe more if they're advertised well.

So quality is a non issue?

 

 

Lair still sold 340,000 copies, so sometimes, yes.  Quality is a non-issue.

I cant agree with the argument that " the demographic wont support it" thats as ludicrous as saying that mario on the ps3/x360 would be a huge flop. If its good and marketed well it should sell well. The wii is stuck with a plethora of titles that look like copy n paste showelware, madworld atleast moves beyond that.



Doubt is not a pleasant condition, but certainty is absurd.

5 THINGS I'd like to see before i knock out:

a. a AAA 3D sonic title

b. a nintendo developed game that has a "M rating"

c. redesgined PS controller

d. SEGA back in the console business

e. M$ out of the OS business

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.

 

 

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.

 

 First ,you should take your insults back.

Second ,the Conduit is being hyped mainly because its a Wii game that dont look as a late Game Cube effort but something (slighty) more appealing visually.But ,it doesnt look half as good as the top thier 360 or PS3 FPS,much less when it comes out and the likes of Resistence 2,Call of Duty 5 and Gears of War 2 are out.WHats the point in the "look at those graphics !" arguement when "those graphics" are still way below PS3 and 360 standars?Many of the potential Wii  buyers of a FPS already have a 360 or PS3.The Conduits graphics wont amaze them at all ,and the online playing and all will be far worse that most PS360 offers.And the Motion Plus thing is true ...even if it sold like 10 million along Wii Sports resort that would still put the potential userbase at 1/3 of the current Wii userbase.

Madworld will sell 600 000 lifetime

The Conduit will sell 400 000 lifetime

Everyone with a Wii can play The Conduit, it doesn't require Motion Plus.
