It has great legs too, it sold almost 33% as much as 360-version did on last complete week(9).   What does 360 have to do with a Wii thread other then trolling?   Well it was mentioned in OP, in a way that 360 version sold only 11% of launch weeks numbers. I merely offered another way to look at the numbers. How can facts be considered trolling?

 

To comment on your first post, legs aren't determined by comparing to sales on other consoles, they're determined by looking at how the sales of the game is doing on one console over a period of time. Your comparison to the 360 in regards to legs didn't really make sense to me.

I remember when someone made the same type of comment when someone else dared to suggest that Wii Fit might actually outsell GTA4 even though GTA4 sold a gazillion copies in the first 30 seconds it was on sale. I didn't suggest it would outsell the XBox version when the XBox is the undisputed FPS console. But thank you for making very sure we got the point. I do suggest that it will sell much better than some people thought, and it may be selling still when the HD console users have long since gone on to their next big hit. The buying patterns are obviously very different.

Glad to see it picking up in sales. I enjoyed the single player and now I am addicted to the online mode.

@Grampy

You are welcome.

Yeh I'm addicted to online.. Haven't even played the single player mode :P

I really hope that The Conduit expands the online experience for Wii because the controls are amazingly good in CoD: WaW on Wii. Graphics are acceptable but could be better and there should have been more maps and modes.

But the controls make it a VERY enjoyable experience..

I was the same way until I forced myself to sitdown and play the singleplayer, which was really good itself, and I want the Conduit to basically be like W@W with more modes and more players and I'll have my FPS fix for 2009.

yeah its a good game and like some other good games on Wii it starts out slow and has really good legs and ends up doing rather well

The only problem with this prediction is that the legs could get cut off by something like The Conduit. Possibly not due to the fact that WWII settings are more popular than sci-fi settings.

@Esa-Petteri: It's not about total sales, it's about sales growth. The 360 version is declining where the Wii version is growing. It won't be an evergreen title like Mario Kart, but it should grow legs to keep it going till a superior FPS steals it's thunder.

Few "core" games are released at the moment on wii ... Maybe this explains that.

More like it is a crappy explanation made by you.  A better explanation would be that a majority of PS3/360 owners that wanted the game bought it right when it came out while the Wii owners take more time to purchase it.
