Conduit could do lifetime what halo 3 did in its second week. Maybe.

782,000 is what Halo 3 did in it's second week.  I'll go on record saying that the Conduit will beat that lifetime.

It's still a bomb though.

Jesus still loves The Conduit even if it was a flop.



Ask stefl1504 for a sig, even if you don't need one.

With european numbers the game might have a 150+ opening week.

For a Wii game that isn't a flop.

For a wii game? For a wii game.....? Are you serious.. The wii is the market leader right now, and your saying "for the wii"?

You know, the expectations on wii software are lower due to pretty obvious reasons. The conduit was the most hyped wii game and it got bad sales. Now is the time for excuses.

Come on Esa.  Let's be fair.  It wasn't the most hyped Wii game.  The Nintendo games are more hyped.  Remember,  I was one of the people saying that it was being hyped too much.  I typed hyped in the last three sentences.   

I didn't make excuses though.  I listed several reasons why it bombed.

Maybe The Conduit is just sleeping? It'll wake up and sell millions.

My theory is that Madworld bombed because it had to few colours and Conduit bombed because it had too many colours.

Developers have to find that thin line of the right ammount of colours to use in Wii games or they will all bomb.
