One of the problems Conduit is facing, is that it's the vacation period going. People are travelling, spending their time in their cottages and lots of kids are working in the vacation from school (saving the money they earn for the fall). Of course, Conduit could have debuted higher.

Edit: Sorry, it was Game, not Play.com.

This would apply to every game on every console.


And go Buzz! lol. Too bad we aren't tracking it.




Yes it would, and does. Point wasn't to try to prove weak relative performance with other games at the time of the year, only that some of its early sales are delayed further.

I missed one thing, that's a pretty bad start for the new Harry Potter game in UK.

Only, you clearly said, 'One of the problems Conduit is facing.'. I'd say a bigger problem is a user base that is not interested in FPSs. Still, looking forward to teh amazing legs when all those people get back from their cottages...

How so ? It's already pretty high in the charts, even before the official release of the movie (this wednesday I think), and given the nature of its public - both sex, mainstream and quite broad in term of age - it is guaranteed to have good legs. In fact, if you look at the All-Format chart in the UK (the link is just before the chart-track news), it's ranked 4, and has a good chance of being 1st next week (which is already the case in Ireland, just above).

The Conduit has only been out for two days. Lets give it some more days before we call it a bomb.

Every new debute is only out for 1 or 2 days, and that doesnt stops tehm from taking #1 spots

That's a bad first week for the Conduit.

Maybe because the game is bad, or maybe because the HP hype bandwagon is finally slowing down without JK Rowling's fanfic... I mean books.

Very poor start for the conduit in Europe which was in line with my prediction (whereas in america it did better then I thought).

Oh well.

Or maybe because the movie isn't out yet.
