Forums - Gaming - "The Conduit will surpass Halo sales if" - HVS REPLY!!!!!!!!!!!

Remember this thread?

Talking about a bundle that could be done with a Wii and The Conduit?

Well I e-mailed the pic to the guys at HVS with a text similar to the one we discussed here, and today for my enjoyment I see that they replied to me, stay with the words of the Conduit Producer, Josh Olson:

 

"Bon gia [this means good morning], Francisco!

 

I’m Josh Olson, producer on The Conduit, and I wanted to say thanks for the feedback!  We agree that 10 million is a very nice number, but perhaps a little low for The Conduit. J  Know that Sega, Nintendo, and we are all working together very hard to make The Conduit an awesome experience for everyone – we wholeheartedly agree that it’s a system-seller and hope to get it into as many people’s hands as possible.  It’s in good hands and we’re looking forward to showing off our baby to the world very soon.

 

Thanks for the support and the feedback!

 

Josh"

 

Thanks for HVS team for their support to the Wii crowd out there.

 

MAY THE HYPE TRAIN GET BIGGER!!!

That didn't answer how they go about putting it into people's hands.



What does he mean 10M is too low? He thinks The Conduit will sell more than Halo 3 and shift tons of systems?



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Got a retro room? Post it here!

i think that little smilely face shows that it's a joke... I'm sure they'd love for their game to do Halo numbers



He's obviously joking. But I bet people will call him deluded for this.



A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.

Could we start with a little proof that this was an actual e-mail from him instead of a made up comment.



Where is the smiley-face? I think I might be blind. O.o

If I saw that I wouldn't have even made the 10M comment.

Wow, he seems like a nice guy



I hope my 360 doesn't RRoD

He is obviously joking people. I just e-mailed the box and said that it is a way to sell more than 10 million.

(But if the bundle is really made there is definitelly a chance)



Ok, I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that the smiley face meant he was being a bit cheeky with the 10 million number (unless they have a massive ace up their sleeve, such as the bundle or an epic ad campaign), but he has every right to believe that this could potentially be a system seller.

Also, it's REALLY cool and good-spirited of him to simply respond in so detailed a fashion to one single person's e-mail. Kudos, HVS.



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?
