I do think 200k is way too low, but i'm far from convinced that it's going to do numbers above and beyond 1 million. People bring up Red Steel which was selling in a blue ocean, WAW which has the brand name and Metroid which not only isn't a FPS it is of significantly higher quality.

If the game was receiving 90%+ from a plethora of sources and seeme as though it was going to get the positive word of mouth that seems to part of the success of a number of Wii games with legs i would agree but at the moment all i'm seeing is internet hype and appreciation for HVS for trying to make a decent game and i'm not sure how well these factors will translate into sales.

I'm going to go out on a very brittle limb here, and say that from now on (6/23/09), no 3rd party Wii game will ever get 90% average.

Whether from GameRankings, Metacritic, nothing.  Don't be fooled, I'm a Nintendo fan from birth till death, but after seeing Gamepro's slipshod garbage mess of a review for The Conduit, reviewers will never respect the Nintendo Wii enough to give a 3rd party game an oustanding rating overall.

After all, they are Wii games.

There are already four third party games over 90% on Gamerankings. :x In fact, that's more than the amount of Nintendo games over 90%.

Well, i'm not so sure it's a very brittle limb.  I think we'll get the answer the next few months though with a pretty promising third party line up for the remainder of the year.

@Jefforange89: interestingly not one of those games is a Wii exclusive.

This is true.

so some one here actually thinks this game will sell more than CoD, this is crazy, no one really knows this game, and wii owners wont play online according to nintendo becuase they dont like to lose

I dont know man, a lot of people played MKW online, I have never ran out of people to pwn on there when I wanted to play online. It's the same with brawl or any online Wii game, always people on there.

i say 100k to 150 opening week.

This thread is kinda pointless, and clogging up the Nintendo page with yet another The Conduit thread. We don't need half the threads being the conduit related, if you have a specific topic to discuss that is not covered in the official thread or an already posted thread feel free to either bring it up in the official thread or make a new thread with caution since we don't need the Nintendo section clogged up with The Conduit threads.

Be kind to other users that aren't interested ;)
