Topic: How are Conduits Sales?

I just read on Gamespot that Conduit has 72,000 in Sales so far just everyone would like to know

Actually from what I remember thats just the first week.
Either way when compared to House of the Dead and Madworld, Conduit did awesome

Was that US or worldwide?

Does anyone recommend The Conduit? I was thinking of buying it.

I prefer to rent it first...

I'll probably rent it

I only picked this up for the multiplayer - Its a keeper for me for that reason as I belong to an over forties clan and we have a lot of fun with COD and the rest of the guys are beginning to go on-line with the Conduit. The matches so far have been tremendous fun and a change from the landscape of WW2 - Not tried out Wii Speak yet - I have it but no buddies have had it when I have been online.

I believe it was the U.S. alone. Hopefully.

Yeah, the fact that it's "first week" I think it has to be US only since it it was released here first and those figures came out after that week....unless I'm completely misremembering. It's been known to happen on semifrequent occaision.

Yea it's suspected it did 100,000 first week and projected to do 300,000 lifetime which would be pretty good. It sold as much as Punch-Out.

I sure enjoy it.

Here's the VGChart. They also note if the dev costs were $5M it might be doing good enough to warrant a sequel.

An article I read figures the "Teen" rating in the States helped a lot. Over here it's PEGI 16+. I do see some of the same people in regional matches; I have to say it's a different experience from playing a game like Alien Crush Returns where I've never seen ANYONE online at all!

I'm glad the game is doing well, as I think they really earned it.
@Sean, I'm with you on the ACR thing - I try on occasion only to wait the three loooong minutes and come up empty. Bah...
We should try to connect one of these days.

Indeed -- have we swapped codes for that, I really cannot recall!

No, but mine's in my sig. Shoot me yours and once the PM system is up and running we can organize a match without disturbing everyone.

180 000! It's perfect, SEGA would be happy ^^

I would recommend it. I am enjoying that game a lot.

They need to advertise more. I rarely see a Conduit commercial, whereas I've seen plenty of Red Faction ones.

Cool, I'll get those registered tonight as well as the Alien Crush code (mine for that is 1461-9791-3204). It has to be said that I find inter-continental match-ups to be quite problematic since my game time is usually between 21:00-23:00 GMT and therefore between 5 and 8 hours ahead of North America...

If the sales are so far 180,000, then it's not that bad for Sega. At least it didn't bomb like Madworld or The House of the Dead: Overkill.

Well, they're making a profit -- assuming the US$5mil figure for dev costs is correct. Given the most effort goes into building the engine I expect the Grinder to have a far higher profit margin.

I really enjoy the game so I'm pleased to see it crack the six-figure mark!
