They can sell an empty Halo box with no game it and it would probably still move a million units before any one notices they forgot to put the game in it.

actuallly it is being made by a far more famous studio

Ensemble Studios

with help from bungie and rare

Halo Wars has a lot of potential. It could be the only good console RTS.

I assume Killzone 2 will do better than Resistance 2, but it has to be in the ballpark. It can't sell much more than either Resistance 2 or Call of Duty WaW. Otherwise you are creating FPS loving gamers out of thin air.

nobody around the interwebs seems to be excited about halo wars

Internet hype and real world results are not always the same thing.

well xbox 360 has a bigger user base, and judged by what MGS4 did (a mere 3.7 million according to this website), k2 should do around 3 milion this year.
I can't see K2 will bcome a bigger hit than MSG4 to be honest.

we'll see about that

^ the rts genre may be niche, but tahts all gonna change with Halo thrown into the mix. It wont be niche anymore.
Everything Halo touches becomes divine and holy.

Or just stupid and grossly exagerrated.

 

And I think everyone expects Halo Wars to outsell KZ2. (intially for sure and most likely lifetime)

we'll know soon enough.

I hope they're both huge successes.



TheTruthHurts! on 30 January 2009

I have high hopes and I am extremely excited for Halo Wars. But realistically, I just don't think an RTS can compete with the great fps, that KZ2 is turning out to be, (sales-wise).

I adore RTS, but understand the lack of RTS sales success on a console has yet to be dis-proven, so......(crosses fingers), I do hope Halo Wars is the first to do this.

We shall see..........

Well, at least on Amazon Killzone 2 is currently #1 on the bestselling list and Halo Wars is not on the top 100.

but at least in three gamestop stores in so. cal., halo Wars pre-orders are outselling Killzone 2.



NinjaKido on 30 January 2009

Halo Wars is an RTS ffs ... an RTS !!! on a console . the "Halo" name will give the game a boost but I can't see it passing 2 million.

Halo Wars won't do anything for RTS's on the 360 because the control scheme is a severe limitation on playing RTS's , I can't imagine an RTS on a console being equal to a PC version.
