Will The Conduit reduce Halo 3's record to pieces?

I just went to VGChartz and spotted this thread.

Obviously, these guys believe that The Conduit can shatter Halo 3's opening record to become the fastest-selling exclusive console first-person shooter of all time.

What are your thoughts on this?

no.

Whoever thinks so is delusional.

And obviously you didn't read your own link.

Almost every one of the replies say that The Conduit won't break Halo 3's record :?

Not a chance.

Unless the massive casual fanbase somehow latches onto it and turns it into the next Wii Sports, but I find that highly unlikely.

i played the conduit at comic con a few months ago it is nothing realy special. YEah its a great game for wii but its not as good as cal of duty 4 or halo 3.EmperorZeruel

that sounds great. unfortuneately, this thread is about sales not quality. and we all know that even if Nintendo games suck, they sell

Not enough people know about the conduit so no. If anything will break the record Halo 3 (not fps in general) put it will have to be something like *shudder* the Sims 3 or Call of Duty 6.

Maybe it would have if called Wiiconduit..... kiddingHarlockJC

The sims 3 no chance. the sims 3 is casual, it opens with relatively good sales and continues to stay on chart for months and years in order to build up some groundbreaking sales. in order to smash this record, it will need to sell over 4 million, not going to happen.

No it won't. That's just pure crazy talk.

Hell to the no. Period.

I am looking forward to the Conduit though.

*That's coming for a Nintendo-Only gamer and someone who's picking up The Conduit...

And most of Nintendo best sellers are actually excellent games.IronBass

Normally, we use the expression "a-x-company game" for a game developed by "x-dev", not for "x-console".

This game is not made by Nintendo, that's why I misunderstood what you meant.

But since you already apologied, it's all good.

He's certainly missing out on alot, but he'll do just fine with just a Wii if he decides to do so. Its a great system with a damn good library ;)

VGChartz is run by Wii fanboys What do you expect?FirstDiscovery

Actually not. Most VGChartz members/staff are Sony fans.

I think people are forgetting that The Conduit is already the 4th best selling Wii game at Gamestop(preorders only. Now THATS impressive.) and it already sold out at Amazon.com

To the above few posters, the head-honchos are mostly Wii fanboys.FirstDiscovery

[QUOTE="FirstDiscovery"]To the above few posters, the head-honchos are mostly Wii fanboys.IronBass

something tells me he's a jealous Sony fan having hard to accept the fact that VGChartz ranks Wii number 1 console in sales this gen...

This is a commonly known fact FirstDiscovery

And even then, just read some of their positive Wii head lines, its worse than Fox News:?FirstDiscovery

Halo3 marketing alone cost them 2x the Conduit. They could spray the Conduit on everyones houses. Then the people will be like 'wtf is the Conduit?' and it still won't sell as much.

Even the most optimistic Conduit fanboy couldn't possibly think Conduit could outsell Halo.

Halo is the mass-market, heavily advertised, casual shooter that everyone knows about (heck, it's on 7eleven cups and mountain dew).

do people outside of the internet even know about the conduit? >_>Sonick54

Obviosuly, why would otherwsie people think that it can outsell a big game?

The Wii is a money maker, it just logical that in a site focused on sales the headlines would be positive. IronBass

Yes. The Conduit is going to smash Halo's record.
