No one in particular. The OP's just sent me a few RAAAAGGEEE PMs over my estimate.

Oh, damn, dude... I don't think I've ever seen you before and you have 1800+ posts. :?

Soleron is an alt account of Game_boy and a very pro-Ubuntu poster. You will find most of his posts in the PC forum, usually in the Windows/OSX/*nix discussions.

This reminds me of the people saying LBP would be the next Zack & Wiki (happened once during a Steam conversation, lol).

I think the Conduit will do pretty well. It may be hurt by the lack of local MP, though, because the main focus of the Wii is family entertainment, and I have people coming in my store all the time looking for a co-op shooter for the Wii (usually a dad and his son together).

I think it'll break a million lifetime, though it may take awhile to do so.

Yes but most shooter fansÂ are already on other consoles and this game is not as famous as CoD, so, i doubt it will sell more than CoD and if CoD is at 1.17m at the moment Conduit will take a long time before reaching 500k

CoD is a bad comparision, since for reasons discussed when the game came out, multiconsole owners got it for PS360 instead of Wii. Conduit, is exclusive, so if people want to try it out, they have to get it for Wii. Sales depend on how people like it, the advertisement it gets and how much and how soon it gets decent competition.

My own prediction for the games sales is between one and three million copies sold.

Sounds about right--I'd predict around 1.8-2.2 million lifetime.

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

He is also known for his absurd belief that only Nintendo titles are worth playing.

Shows what a level-headed, credible kind of guy he is, huh?

No, seriously, arguments ad hominem are cool and all, but he's probably wrong about this one.

I'm only an alt because I lost my password to the other one. I've PM'd the mods numeroud times over it and nothing has been done, so I'm sticking with this one.

Most of my posts are in the Nintendo forum actually, concerning gaming. Look at my post history.
