I hope it does very well but at the same time, I think for the most part only the truly hardcore know about this game. Maybe we'll see a lot of advertisement but who knows. I think 200,000 would be a very strong launch week and anything over 500,000 lifetime should be considered a success.

The definition of The Conduit being a success in the eyes of forumgoers can be expressed as a mathematical formula, which is as follows:

a=b+1

Where a = the sales threshold at which The Conduit will be considered a success, and b = the final sales of The Conduit once it has sold its final copy anywhere, ever

Anything less than A, even one unit less, will cause forumgoers to consider the game an abject failure, and a prime example of the hostility of the Wii's market to third parties.

Well, I bleive that if they can sell 1-2 mill by the end of the year, that would shut a few people up.

multi-player will save this game. even if the single player campaign is uninspired and repetitive (all signs point to yes), furious multiplayer with tight wii controls will be a riot

Depends i say probally around 150k for Americas first week is expectable for it to easily reach 1 M. Depends how much supply is there by Sega and if the game is actually as good as they say they are trying to make it. If it hits around 300k the first week it will be a multiplatinum game around probally 2.2M in all then. But if it sells around 500k the first week in NA then it could go as far as 3.8M WW, or it can just pull a Sonic and Mario at the Olympics and just sell tons every week in Europe.

How about a mega hyped game sells more than 89k copies in first month (in the US)...because utter trash like Haze doing doing 91K it FIRST WEEK (in the US) makes said hyped game look like turbo trash

Sales =/= quality, but in terms of sales discussion...please at least do the above

less than 300k is a major bomb

I'd be happy with 50k lol, remember that keeping expectations low yields in better sex, I mean, sales figures.

It'll depend on what the buzz is online after launch. If enough of the right people cry bomb, it's a bomb. It's a new IP, but it has a lot of hype. I would say it has to sell at least 100+k first week. I'm not hearing any stories on groundbreaking presale orders, so this may be a bad sign.

Why don't you just shut the fuck up, you fanboy troll? The Wii has plenty of great games, and your inane ramblings do nothing but convince other people that you're a moron.
