Forums - Nintendo - How big will The Conduit have to open to NOT have cries of "it's a bomb!"?

Didn't you guys hear? The Conduit already bombed. Crap controls, HORRIBLE graphics, there's just NO reason to buy it. Also, it's not M rated, WTF!? You cant be a shooter without being rated M! Killzone 2 for life.

You forgot about the great review from Nintendo Power or I am blind? This game already bombed

I'd say it can be called not a bomb if it sells at 2x - 3x the rate of Madworld.

Here's a list of third party million sellers on Wii which had a launch greater than 200k:

Guitar Hero 3 - 276k

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed - 268k

Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles - 238k

Guitar Hero: World Tour - 237k


I didn't find any other third party titles which launched above 200k. So something to consider:

No third party game on the Wii has ever sold 300k on launch week.

I guess that 100k+ is a good number in the first week. I personally believe that it will be more but I am not very good predicting sales. But knowing the wii haters, no number is enough. It would sell 1M in less than a year and call it a bomb anyway.

I am think about 200-300k opening week would be really nice. 1.5 million to be considered a hit.

Check the batteries in your sarcasm detector.  I think they're running low.

I expect it to do around a 100k on launchweek. Perhaps it's legs could reach 2.5 million, at least 1 million.

Seeing the internet's preference, they will call it a bomb if it doens't clear 500k min. Even if it does so, against impossible odds, they would still mock it. Face it, people are mean.
