Sega revealed sales data for two of their titles, Virtua Tennis 2009 and The Conduit, in their quarterly earnings report.
There’s a consensus about Splatoon 1 that cannot be disputed: motion controls are the way to play. The Wii U Gamepad had its many problems on the system as a whole, but along with the way in which the touch screen was implemented in the first game like I mentioned in my last piece, using the Gamepad’s gyroscope was deemed a superior way to play compared to traditional joystick control.
Rustyshell.com: The Conduit strived to be the quality FPS experience Wii owners were missing out on, with quality graphics and a robust online multiplayer component.
Hardcore Gamer: The Conduit was an interesting first-person shooter that sneaked its way onto the Wii amid a deluge of shovelware and "family" games.
150,000 copies in June alone is pretty good imo.
Good sales!!! I wish sega all the best in becoming a major developer / publisher again, so they can fund Shenmue 3!
tell u the truth im enjoyin the hell out of it its really fun for a fps wii game though i keep seeing the same guys everytime but its enjoyable
Almost time for july numbers, I imagine it will do just fine. It may not be best selling game of the year but how many 7-8 scored games sell that many? In the end, the beauty of developing games for wii is most companies can make their money back with a profit when 500,000 units are sold. If they sold over 100,000 in under 4 days then in theory they should have no problem making the 1/2 million mark. Last i checked Conduit was a low budget title to begin with. so Guess what?... thankfully for wii owners.. this is one hardcore title that sold. Maybe we'll see some more.
