Forums - Gaming Discussion - Hypothethically, does the Conduit have any chance of outselling KZ2? Ltd.

FJ-Warez on 21 January 2009

Come on, the Conduit probably got less than 10% of the dev budget of killzone 2, is a new ip coming from a unknow developer, and probably sega is not going to put a lot of money in the add campaign... is like Zack and Wiki all over again (But with a more common genre)

Can it? Yes.

Will it? Not likely.


They'll both sell very good but KZ2 simply has 2 things going for it that The Conduit will not have.

1. Marketing. Sega will certainly push The Conduit but not like Sony will push KZ2.
2. Retail. Retailers have to believe a game will sell big for them to buy a large supply. They will buy more KZ2 than they will buy The Conduit. That completely chokes any chance of The Conduit outselling KZ2.

I am 100% that Conduit will be a better game, but sadly Killzone 2 will sell more

I'm not so sure. Sega seems pretty dedicated to this game and expects it to ride the Motion Plus craze from Wii Sports Resort. When you think of how well Wii games have paid off for Sega, especially compared to the PS360 games. Sega has produced about 25 games for each console and the Wii has been their gold mine. Just plain economic self interest should make them hype the hell out of this game just in hopes of getting another Mario & Sonic at the Olympics. A game that had low expectations and a metacritic score of 67 which coincidentally is just ten times more than the million copies it sold (6.7M)

Ok. I'm getting fed up with these comparisons between The Conduit and the sales of other FPS on Wii.

In regards to Metroid Prime 3:
-It's not even the same genre. MP3 is a FPA, for the last time.
-There's no multiplayer whatsoever.
-Install base was much smaller at time of release.

In regards to Call of Duty W@W:
-It's a watered-down version of a multi-plat game, not a Wii exclusive.
-It has nowhere near the online features that the Conduit will have.

We have yet to see the advertising campaign SEGA promises. We have yet to see the effect of the Wii Motion Plus peripheral. These are two more big factors, the effects of which are impossible to predict at this moment. They could make all the difference.

However, all in all, after at least two years' time... I predict The Conduit will indeed outsell Killzone 2.

Probably not but do think Conduit will have a bigger profit, that is what matters



If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)

^^^ You are entitled to your opinion, as inaccurate as it is. COD:WAW on Wii is actually very good, has fluid motion controls, solid graphics, and solid online. I enjoy it even more than Medal of Honor Heroes 2. There is no lag on campaign or online play. I am both a PC and Wii gamer, on top of being a game developer, and I can tell you that you either played the wrong game, or you're just a troll, and should leave vgchartz and head over to gamespot.com with the rest of the trolls.

 

I have both, Wii version plays like garbage, the online was also horrible. The game was not polished, at all.

 

edit: I do hope MW2 will be good though =_= I can always hope.

Theoretically yes, simply because the Wii has more than twice the PS3's userbase.

Practically? Probably not. It's the first game of a new IP, and being published by SEGA, which... I dunno. If it doesn't have Sonic in it, SEGA games feel cursed. Maybe this will help turn things around, but I can't count on it.

However, I don't expect either game to meet the goals fans have for them.

The Conduit will be a success if it can hit 1m, but 2m or more would be a huge surprise.

Killzone 2 will hit 1m easily, and likely go multi-plat, but anyone expecting Halo type numbers are deluding themselves.

Am I reading this correctly? Someone please help!

Multi-plat as in multi-platinum, not multi-platform.

GRAMPY +1, was just a matter of time, for many publishers release more games for Wii, and SEGA just want expande the audience they have on WII, but this is the truth: they want make benefits form the new Wii situation, with the incoming of Moster hunter 3 and Dragon Quest X more games are going to be released from Japan, and the users base it´s going to grow a lot more.
