Based on sales? No. Halo was a true killer app, almost single handedly responsible for keeping the Xbox platform from failing.

As a result, the Halo franchise became synonymous with the Xbox brand as it still is today.

Resistance may have the distinction of being one of the best initial games (arguably the best) for the PS3, but it would be a very tough job making a convincing argument that gamers were actually buying PS3s specifically for playing Resistance.

As the franchise continues to develop and improve, it may well be one of those platform defining franchises for the PS3, much like R&C was for the PS2, but the commercial performance of R2 has to be taken into consideration before making such a claim.

That being said, expect R2 to perform significantly better commercially than Resistance.
