Conduit will do fine for an average game, its not a blockbuster title nor its a critically acclaimed one so the sales wont be high. |
This is no different than hugely hyping the game as proof there's an untapped market for quality third party core games on the Wii and then stating that sales under 100k in the first week is still a success that drives this point home. Especially when the reality is that the game didn't even break 100k in the first two weeks.
You don't hype a game for the better part of a year as being that vital to third party development perception and then predict the type of sales we've been seeing so far.
What I find telling is that the game's been out for less than a month and already we're seeing 20-25% discounts which is flat out saying that the game was overshipped, ie. underperforming at retail.
