@ kantor...

many ways to look at this though isnt there...

a mildy hyped RTS (somewhat niche genre) against the most hyped FPS (most popular genre) of this gen for the PS3 (equall if not greater hype than Gears 2.

If halo wars wins that I'd be shocked...

KZ2 needs Call of Duty 4/waw numbers to justify the ridiculous (mainly internet admittedly) hype.

Anyway my kz2 arrives tomorrow morning.... already on its way.

The way I see it,

Halo Wars

+Halo brand name

+Microsoft advertising

-Console RTS

Killzone 2

+First person shooter

+Pretty damned good advertising

-Not much of a fanbase.

It comes down to whether the Halo brand name can make people buy a console RTS. I'm not expecting 90% returns or some crap like that, but you have to admit that some people still think Halo Wars is an FPS. Halo Wars should have the edge first week, but I think Killzone 2 will win in the long term.

I'm pretty sure it can do CoD4 numbers.
