Second, I do believe Halo Wars is gonna open the flood gates for console rts games the way Halo Ce did for console fps games. Remember when people kept saying a real fps game could only be played with a key board and mouse? There will be crap loads of console rts games after developers see the sucess of Halo Wars. Sony will respond to it with their own just like they did to Halo with Killzone. |
People say that still to this day that PC FPS is better than Console FPS. Hell, the best FPS you can play IMHO are played on a PC. Although consoles are fun as well. FPS isn't just a PC genre. RTS doesn't necessarily have to be just a PC genre, but the controls really limit it.
Certainly you don't believe that Halo Ce opened the flood gates for console shooters, do you? Goldeneye 007 / Perfect Dark were FAR, FAR, more influential than Halo Ce. And you are absolutely delusional if you think otherwise.
I don't think it's crazy to say that Halo Wars might outsell Kill Zone 2. Not in the slightest. When you factor in Sony's core userbase (Europe/Japan) compared to Microsoft's core userbase (America), the total overall userbase. I just don't believe the sales for Halo Wars will last. I think a lot of average buyers will buy Halo Wars based on some preconceived notion as to what the game is and many (With that notion) will be disappointed.
I think Halo Wars will sell around 4 million total. Kill Zone 2, I'm not sure yet. I certainly think it will reach 4 million lifetime though.
