You're basing this off the mistaken belief that Halo 1 brought FPS to consoles I assume?

Sorry, Halo Wars is no more significant that any other console RTS

Not at all.

I'm basing it off the highly substantiated notion that Halo 1 made FPS relevant on consoles at large.

A strong argument could be made that Goldeneye made console First Person Shooters relevant four years before Halo tried.

No.

Goldeneye didn't spawn a mass of shooters.  In itself it was an awesome and massively popular game.  I got an N64 JUST for it.

But it didn't spawn the culture of shooters Halo did.

 

I'm trying to figure out if you're serious and I'm coming up blank, here. What other massive shooter franchises did Halo spawn, exactly?

And that doesn't change the fact that you're moving the goal posts, here. Goldeneye sold as well as the original Halo on a smaller userbase and is still played to this day. It completely legitimized the consoles as a platform for capably made shooters in 1997.

LOL, wut? The Xbox outsold the N64? News to me. =\
