I'm going to guess Halo Wars (well, gameplay wise at least).  It's going to sell based on the Halo name but that's about it.

 

Agreed, Halo Wars will flop. Not the correct genre for console at all.

FPS was also said to not be a genre for consoles... until Halo came along.  Considering Halo initially started out as a RTS game and then morphed into a FPS, need to see hw Halo Wars will turn out.  IF the game has a good interface that is pretty easy to jump into, Halo Wars could end up being the game that puts RTS on the map of consoles.  Or, the interface could flat out suck, and prove to be another Haze.

A console IS a computer, without a keyboard.  ANY game can be a game for a console, if done right.  The idea a genre doesn't belong on consoles is why EA pulled the turn-based world domination mode from Kane's Wrath on the 360, because supposedly the console isn't the right place for turn-based strategy games.  Well, guess which sold more on consoles, Civ:Rev or Kane's Wrath?
