Sega are extremely optimistic about the first week sales The Conduit has managed to achieve on Nintendo Wii.
Whilst the company has tried to tap into the ‘hardcore market’ on the Wii before, they’ve yet to have any major success. The Conduit has achieved strong sales on its first week of retail and Sega are confident that they’ll remain steady.
“The mature audience on the Wii is a relatively new audience. The system has traditionally targeted families and kids and not the more mature hardcore gamer. We recognize that when you are trying something new, it may take awhile for the consumer to jump on board with it,”
“The game is already successful with us as the reviews have been pretty impressive. Overall the reviews have been strong, and though there will always be some naysayers we definitely feel we have been able to offer gamers the Wii experience we were looking for.”
“Though it is still early days in the retail life of the game, we are seeing very strong week one sales and being the best shooter on the Wii means that we think we will see this game out there and selling well for a long time.”

I bought it and it’s decent.
Excellent, I’ve yet to play it. I’m definitely curious about the online aspect of the game.
Onlines a bit frantic think quake for noobs with waggle sticks but most importantly its entertaining.
