SEGA president and COO Mike Hayes has declared High Voltage Software's sci-fi FPS The Conduit on Wii a success.

"We actually regard The Conduit as a success," Hayes told Wired. "We shipped 300,000 units, sold through half of those and now it’s at the point where it’s selling consistently at a time when Wii sales are generally depressed in the marketplace."

The Conduit was released exclusively for Wii on June 23 in North America and on July 10 in Europe.

Quite relieved I didn't pick this game up at launch now.

Even I'll admit that the graphics were generally quite good in places. But they were really hard to notice thanks to the jerky controls.

Well when they said they had technology that made it look like a PS3 or Xbox game you did have to worry lol

I'd call it a mild failure. Had potential, it just didn't work out.

If they're labelling it a success that means it's more than likely High Voltage will make a sequel. Oh noes.

The game is already on sale, and I have seen dozens of copies on the pre-owned section already.

Oh well.
