Killzone 2 or Halo Wars: Which will sell more and by how much?

[bugrimmar]

people have to understand that quality does not always equal to sales.

people also have to realize that majority of consumers don't read internet hype in judging what game to buy.

the biggest reason for majority of consumers to buy a game is the title.

Halo Wars, even if it sucks, will sell a whole lot of discs because it has a huge fanbase and it's become a name connected to quality.

Killzone does not have such a name. Even if it's godlike crazy good, it can't beat a name like Halo.

Look at Resistance 2, which is arguably a better game than World at War (which is just a rehash of another world war 2 battle). Call of Duty has the name so it will sell more, even if R2 got 10's across the board.

Mass market consumers don't buy internet hype. Remember this. This is why things like Wii Music sell so well despite the horrible reviews it gets.

So my prediction is: Killzone 2 250k first week, a little less than 2 million lifetime. Halo Wars 600k first week, 3 million lifetime.
