Do you ever wonder why some videogames have sequels and some do not? Well, the explanation is quite simple. Since the videogame industry is also a business then each business must produce some profit to garner more investment. This means that if a game sells more than a million units then it is considered successful and worthy of a sequel. However, if the game sells less than half a million then it’s basically a flop. This explains why Dark Void and Mushroom Men are unlikely to have sequels but best-selling games like Assassin’s Creed and Just Dance definitely will have another installment.
This explanation pretty much makes sense so what’s the deal with a rumored sequel to The Conduit? The guys over at G4tv spent some time with High Voltage Software and have emerged convinced of the possibility of The Conduit 2. This might sound a bit puzzling to gamers everywhere because The Conduit isn’t exactly known as a raging success. In fact, word has it that the title hasn’t even sold half a million copies yet. The disappointing sales have put this game behind more successful titles like Call of Duty.
Well, it seems that the game sales were enough to inspire another sequel. Although there is a big chance that the sequel will have a lower budget.
