If it goes above 1.5million it will be impressive.

The problem is that both World at War and QoS had local multiplayer, which is one of the bigger factors that lends a title legs. The Conduit's online community is going to have to remain quite engaging to get the kind of word-of-mouth going to keep the engine.

I don't believe WaW has local multiplayer, though (or, I can't remember ever seeing it when I would play it).

To lavish praise upon this title, the assumption of a common plateau between player and game must be made.  I won't open my unworthy mouth.

u cannot simply estimate a the sales of one game by comparing the ratio of another. Many other factors show up such as: The game has a larger install base, could be a worse or better game then the others you compared it to, advertisements!, if another game comes out too soon and is really good people just might by that instead.

I wouldn't call The Conduit "AAA" to be honest.

The Conduit isnt a AAA game. Its a new IP. And its on the Wii.

Id say 1.5million would be good.

A new IP can be considered AAA. Gears of War was considered AAA before it came out. The Conduit got the AAA shooter treatment from IGN and Gamespot before its review. Halo was considered AAA before it even hit the original Xbox.

According to Wii standard it is a AAA shooter. Being on the Wii is what gives a game that looks like that its value and spark. If it was on the 360 or the PS3 no one would care. The Wii sky rockets this games true value.

Nah......I was thinking along the lines of 2.5 to 3 million or more. That would show true signs of life for core shooter fans on the Wii.
