SEGA reaffirms commitment to hardcore Wii games, talks The Conduit sales
“I don’t know why MadWorld didn’t sell so well. Perhaps it was the black and white graphics or the violence, but to argue mature games don’t sell well on Wii just because we launched one that didn’t hit right away would be arrogant. We have other teen and mature games we will be launching on the Wii platform…[Referring to The Conduit] Show me another new IP that has done those numbers, bearing in mind the Wii market has been a little slow this summer. If you compare The Conduit with other core IP that’s been launched in the last three years it’s tracking well above.” – Sega West president Mike Hayes
Mr. Hayes also said that 300,000 units of The Conduit have been shipped worldwide since its release. I wonder what percentage of that has been sold through…
