Forums - Gaming - Could the conduit still outsell killzone 2?

Firstly, the game isn't even releasing in Japan, so I would be shocked if it did massive numbers there. Secondly, FPS is bigger in NA than EU, so 100k in NA might be 30k or so in EU. KZ2 is at 1.6 million. World at War launched in the best holiday season the Wii has ever seen, plus it was from an acclaimed series, and it won't reach KZ2 numbers. The Conduit definitely won't.

that could very well change in the future though.

Whats KZ2 at? Hasn't it broken a million easily? TC won't pass it.

killzone 2 1.7 million, 700k first week

the conduit .16 million, over 100k first week

carnival games over 3 million, 30k first week

 

it is entirely possible

MotorStorm: 269k first week, 3.5 million Lifetime

Or even better, especially since it's in the same genre,

Resistance: Fall of Man: 242k first week, 3.6 million LTD.

Killzone 2: 720k first week

3.6 million / 242k * 720k = 10,710,743.80, or over 10 million units.

See how you can't compare like that?

i think a better bet would be "will Conduit lifetime will beat Killzone 2 first week sales?".....

No it will be lucky to reach 500k.

I don't get the lucky to reach 500k thing people keep saying. It sold nearly 100k in one week in one region. I'd be shocked if it didn't reach 500k. I don't think it will outsellKillzone 2 (unless it does it like 5 years from now for some strange unforseeable reason) but aklot of you guys are seriously underestimating it.



"Now, a fun game should always be easy to understand - you should be able to take one look at it and know what you have to do straight away. It should be so well constructed that you can tell at a glance what your goal is and, even if you don’t succeed, you’ll blame yourself rather than the game. Moreover, the people standing around watching the game have also got to be able to enjoy it." - Shiggy

The Conduit will not possibly outsell KZ2.

I don't think it'll reach KZ2 sales but it will break 1 Million lifetime.

The Conduit had a budget of $10 Million so compared with the $60 Million spent on Killzone 2, I think it's doing relatively well.

I own a Wii, I really like The Conduit and I'm glad it's selling well enough to validate HVS's continued support of Wii as I'm enjoying the direction they're going in and like the look of things to come.

Horrible logic. Killzone 2 and Conduit are the same genre. Carnival Games has mass appeal for parents that don't know what to buy their kids.

nah, the conduit will hit 700 k lifetime, i don't think the game will sell in others.

Not all FPS.  Killzone sold better in Europe than in North America, and Killzone 2 is virtually tied in both regions.

Of course, the Killzone franchise seems to be quite an exception in this case, and it's success in Europe vs North America is an advantage (one of many) it holds over the Conduit.
