It's still selling.

A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

It's about profit, not hard sales. As in even though it didn't open big, it will still make money. If developers don't see that on the Wii, they are dumbasses.

Well I agree with Sega's strategy. I liked the Conduit it was a decent gaming experiance. Sure it was yet another generic shooter, however with the Wiimote it was well worth the purchase. However I just rented MadWorld and it is one of the most repetitive games I've ever played. I played it for about an hour before turning it off. What a waste of a rent.

But for the most part I am very impressed with Sega's support of the Wii. I did call it Nintendo's biggest hardcore supporter this further prooves it!

Well, Sega released House of the Dead: Overkill in America, then Madworld outsold it. Then Sega published The Conduit in America, and that outsold Madworld.

you mean this graph: http://www.vgchartz.com/swlaunch.php?reg1=America&game1=The+Conduit+-+Wii&reg2=America&game2=The+House+Of+The+Dead%3A+Overkill++-+Wii&reg3=America&game3=MadWorld+-+Wii&weeks=30 ?

too bad in "others" it's exactly the other way round: http://www.vgchartz.com/swlaunch.php?reg1=Others&game1=The+Conduit+-+Wii&reg2=Others&game2=The+House+Of+The+Dead%3A+Overkill++-+Wii&reg3=Others&game3=MadWorld+-+Wii&weeks=30
