I'm pretty confident that the wii exclusive "the conduit" can outsell the ps3 exclusive 'Killzone 2" due in part to three factors:

1. Install base

Everybody knows the wii has an untapped M-rated game audience out there. The legs will save the game even if it has low first week sales.

2. Hype

The hype for the conduit is growing everyday, and WoM will make the hype continue even after the release of the game.

3. Competition

The conduit doesn't really have any games to compete with, so when sega markets the hell out of it, good things will happen. While killzone 2 will face stiff competition from other first party, and third party games, all while the legs for killzone 2 are failing already.

So do you think the conduit will outsell killzone 2? I think it will. What do you think?

The Conduit is T rated....

And that doesn't mean it won't tap into the same audience Madworld did?

And that's the only thing I need is *this*. I don't need this or this. Just this PS4... And this gaming PC. - The PS4 and the Gaming PC and that's all I need... And this Xbox 360. - The PS4, the Gaming PC, and the Xbox 360, and that's all I need... And these PS3's. - The PS4, and these PS3's, and the Gaming PC, and the Xbox 360... And this Nintendo DS. - The PS4, this Xbox 360, and the Gaming PC, and the PS3's, and that's all *I* need. And that's *all* I need too. I don't need one other thing, not one... I need this. - The Gaming PC and PS4, and Xbox 360, and thePS3's . Well what are you looking at? What do you think I'm some kind of a jerk or something! - And this. That's all I need.

1 - The base is full of moms playing wii this wii that with their young ones not shooters. That m audience are nin fanboys don't expect them buying up 3rd party games. And legs, where were they for Metroid ? No way this thing is better then M was.

2 - Hype, K2 proved hype means fuk all. And thsi thing has maybe 1/100th of K2s hype.

3 - Its also on the wrong console to sale well as shown by other good games becoming sales failures.

I don't see it doing any better than the Wii version of World at War. The only exclusive FPS to outsell Call of Duty (post CoD4) on any platform is Halo 3.

It will.Unfortunately I don´t think it will outsell KZ2.Hopefully it won´t be the next Zack and Wiki.

Don't be mean, Strategyking. They don't even understand what you're doing.

EDIT: I'm beginning to consider the possibility that you could be serious. Very well. Why The Conduit will not outsell Killzone 2:

1) History.

Look at Call of Duty: World at War. A million on Wii, 3 million on PS3. The best selling PS3 FPS is CoD4 with some 4.3 million, the best selling Wii FPS is...World at War, with 1 million.

2) Hype.

I'll turn this back on you. Killzone 2 was hyped for four years. Not that hype means much.

3) Advertising.

Sega really advertised MadWorld, didn't they?

4) Bundling.

The Conduit won't have any.

5) Quality.

Nothing more to add to that...
