Starcraft II Versus Halo Wars

[Oyvoyvoyv]

Well, I'll put this down quite easily.

Sales:

Starcraft 1 sold over 10M (my game-pack says so!).

While PC sales are dropping a lot compared to consoles, Blizzard might not be as heavily affected. Even if they are, 1998 PC market is still smaller than 2009 PC market (I would believe, the console buisiness has increased close to 75% over 5th gen).

I mean, how effected can Blizzard be? They still have over 10M people playing the most successful game ever, and paying for it monthly!

Starcraft 2 is bound to sell at least 6M (maybe not first year, but this seems to be a heavily legged title).

 

Can Halo Wars beat that? Not a chance. People are discussing whether Killzone 2 can beat Halo Wars. Can Killzone 2, the sequel to a rather crappy FPS beat the sequel to what is commonly accepted as the greatest RTS of all time? No way.

 

Quality:

It's subjective, but I'm willing to say that even if Halo Wars was better, it wouldn't be recognized as better, because it is Halo (which is one of the most hated franchises ever).
