If Killzone 2 couldn't, this doesn't even have a chance.

For a console like the Wii and it's audience, this title is basically niche. So I don't see Wii owners throwing themselves for this at launch.

Wait... the question is this: Will The Conduit sell over 3.85 MILLION copies in 5 days? - Is there anyone on earth who actually believes it will do that? It'll be lucky to break 4 million copies *period*, let alone in 5 days.

Ok, come on people think for a second. KZ2 doesn't even matter because the Wii MORE THAN DOUBLES THE PS3 IN SALES. Take that non-logic outta here.

^ This. Every true gamer knows that Halo 3 hasn't even sold 800 k. MS media manipulation and Xbots on the internet have made up all those lies.

Killzone 2 couldn't do it so I highly doubt The Conduit would even leave a scratch. Besides the only games that sells well on the Wii are games with Marios and comes with peripherals like controllers and balance boards.

Not a chance. Halo was a first party game with two big prequels that gave it a lot of brand recognition. Plus...

No, add those estimated 2.5 million in us in 1 day and those 300k in UK in 24 hours, you've got ~2.8, and when you actually take into account every other release states, it will be over 3 million easily actually. and gamestop sold over 500k of halo 3 in us. the retailer that is

Who in their right mind would seriously believe that Conduit could outsell Halo? Not many ppl outside the internet know about this game.

It's a very hyped game indeed, you're correct, but not the most hyped game on 360 let alone this generation.

HistoricalSD

Then what is the most hyped game. Because I haven't seen any other like halo. what other game has had t-shirts, power drinks. Mountain dew covers so on and so forth?

Metal Gear Solid 4, Killzone 2, Gears of War 2, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Modern Warfare 2, GTA IV, Uncharted 2, sorry you were wrong

there was an MGS4 power drink, and mountain dew cover?

one retailer sold 8500 Halo 2 copies in just 11 minutes and 200,000 in ~6 hours, that's just 1 retailr back in 2004 for halo 2. what makes you think halo 3 would have been so inferior in 2007

most people confuse 2 things

a good game

a good selling game

is wii sports the best selling game of all time? yes

dose it diserve the title? no

will the conduit sell well? maybe, it seems many fanboys actully would like to buy it. and even if 25% of the people who bought a wii buy this game its clrearly that it will sell.

i dont get the hate for this game,

is it generic? yes, like all FPS

do the graphics rock? not really, but from the tecnical side yes.

do i hate a game becouse of that? no, that would mean i would have to hate almost all FPS :/

Definitely an over-reaction but I can understand.

If anyone is acting like this when they get their hands on the conduit, I seriously pity them

I would be surprised if Conduit's first month sales did 1/5 of Halo 3s first month, thats roughly 600k. Only single platform game I can see beating Halo 3 opening month is.. Halo 3 ODST, but I can't even see that happening. Halo 3 did 3.3m in September 2007, in US NPD. Thats more then SSBB did in its first month, so people actually think that Conduit will be bigger than Brawl amongst Wii fans?
