SEGA stated last week that The Conduit saw “very strong week one sales.” But how has it performed according to the June NPD sales data? In the short time that the game was on the market, The Conduit sold 71,913 copies. Keep in mind that the title only had nine days of sales, as it released on June 23rd. This is a respectable start I suppose, but next month will probably provide a much better picture as to how just well The Conduit is really doing.
In what seems to be a tradition for most publishers/developers these days, a new website teasing a game has been opened. This time, Atlus is at the center of this mystery. There’s not much to see or do on the site as of yet, but it looks as though information can be expected next Friday. Of course, it is currently unknown which platform the title will end up on.

Capcom just dropped this news in my inbox…
