..Scores AAA and gets a huge advertising campaign, how much do you think it will sell?

I'd say it could sell 1.5 million.

actually, it probably wont sell very much even if it does get a good score. its target audience doesnt have many people on the wii, most who would be interested have another system which is crawling with fps games

It apparently has over a million target people, Red Steel sold over that. You didn't read the OP anyways.

It has the necessary hype to sell really well, the same as Red Steel did. The only reason Red Steel which sold great, didn't sell any better is because of the mixed reviews. I believe this game which is already bolstering one of the best control schemes available and best looking games available will get solid reviews so it will do fine.

I don't see what Wii Motion + could do for a first person shooter. In fact, I don't see what Wii Motion + can do for any game that doesn't have swords.

Back on topic; it's a well produced game that will have decent online which happens to be published by a monster like Sega. It can sell 2 million copies easily.

they said it wont be a huge focus, just to improve melee and aiming and little other things, i think they said you dont even have to use it?

Motion + can't improve aiming, it's impossible

I think if it's well made (which is still very much is question when you consider who is doing it) then it could sell a million over the Wi's lifespan

If the Conduit goes well, and I really hope it does, and if Carnival Games can sell 1 million + units (and they did), then yes I believe The Conduit can. This is pretty much of one those "wait for critic reviews" for many of us gamers like myself.

I really would not raise hype to AAA level seeing as how Gamespot has been pretty tough lately. It probably will get AA, I mean if MoH:H2 could get AA, this can too but AAA is a stretch. It might sell well since Sega is the publisher and they will probably advertise it well.

Motion + can't improve aiming, it's impossible

Jaysonguy

Yes it can. Motion+ detects where you are in the room in real-time, so maybe if you move the Wiimote to the right, the gun on-screen will also move to the right, giving you an advantage (shooting behind cover, for instance). You could also tilt the Wiimote on its side, and it'll give you different angles to shoot with.

I think it could sell about a million copies as long as it gets AA ratings. I'm hoping for at least an 8.5:D

A well-executed shooter will sell more on a platform starved for shooters than it will on a platform swamped in them, no matter how mediocre or derivative it is.

I'm buying it, and I don't care about the score.

I'm hoping it does well commercially and critically. That way 3rd party devs would treat the Wii like a good console.

Yup. And don't forget that HV will get more money from licensing their engine, which I believe they intend to do. The Conduit will be a great advertisement for it. That way, all the hard technical work will have already been done for other devs and they can make great-looking games with only just a little more effort.

That's what Rare did with the 64. They made a great engine and threw a bunch of different games onto it.

Good point. But at least a new standard will be set for the Wii. Think of how good the engine in Super Mario 64, Ocarina, etc. was and how many good games had a similar structure.

What we've seen so far doesn't look like a sure success.
They set their goals right, and did some crucial things right where others went wrong, but there are lots of things we haven't seen that could go a bit wrong.

I doubt it'll get AAA too, but i'll be sure to get it if controls work well and there is a nice part in the game to try it with.

If, if, it got AAA and a lot of advertising, i think it could sell around 2 mill by the end of the gen.

Then maybe we'll get a new Hunter game for the Wii, with 4 player online co-op.. that would be awesomeness.

Don't underestimate the power of anti-hype, that has lately been suspiciously coordinated, to prevent Nintendo's christmas sales to be too big I guess. They could nitpick about something completely vain and give it mediocre points, while the core -> shooting is perfect. I think this game will measure how many Nintendo fans there still is, amongst the new expanded audience. I don't think this will appeal to the new audience...ironically I think a superb WW2-game could have excited the newcomers better, sorry Call of Duty(Excellent effort already, but imagine if it just would have used Wiispeak, had even 2player co-op and some team based multiplayer matches other than plain death match. It was SO close. Just a pinch of more concenteation towards a perfect fps-platform, still missing a good fps), you missed the buss to land of millions of customers! Motion+ support is fantastic, and shows Conduits developers power. Its done to further enhance the allready perfect Wiimote-aiming. With it Conduit keeps track of WiiMotes movements, even when its offscreen. Its small but very nice addittion, and don't leave bare Wiimote useless.
