Forums - Nintendo - Sega explains why they published The Conduit

http://gonintendo.com/viewstory.php?id=92223

 

“SEGA is expanding enough to reach all types of people and recognized that there is much potential in the different consoles. PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 have a more conventional demographic. In the case of Wii, it’s assumed, or it looks like, other publishers are thinking of making more casual games. But SEGA recognizes that there are gamers like all of us. We have a Wii to make use of the controls, SEGA wants to give players an opportunity to have fun with the console and The Conduit was the perfect title.” - SEGA product manager German Fritsch


------------------------------

Sega had the right mindset in place by doing what Nintendon't (and many other companies for that matter) and addressing the other part of the Wii's demographic. Whether it was a wise choice remains to be seen, but with 175,000 copies of The Conduit sold so far, it is on the right track.

Hope is the right word for this topic.

How many copies of SSB:B have sold?



A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.

SEGA!



I LOVE ICELAND!

Make or publish a better, less generic game than The Conduit, and Sega might just appeal to a wider part of that core demographic on Wii. They might even contribute to expanding the core demographic on the Wii.
