okay, right. i will retract my 'second largest franchise' statment but i stand by my point. I took a quick look at the sales for halo3 - first week:3.8M LTD:9.1M. to be tracking under hz2 which is around 0.75M+ according to brett is still sad to me. |
It's simple, there are:
1. Hardcore Halo fans, those that everything Halo is for them, they buy whatever is on the Halo name, follow the story, etc., those fans are not the majority...
2. Casual Halo fans, the real majority here, those who only want a Halo shooter to PWN 50M3 N00820R5 W17H H34D5H075, they're usually in school or college (frat boys included), they don't want to know about a RTS, in fact a lot of them are trying Halo Wars because they don't know is not a shooter, some will like it most of them wont...
3. RTS fans (myself included), usually prefer PC ones over console ones, some are trying Halo Wars because it's Ensemble Studios and want to know if it's possible a great console RTS...
AND 4. Shooter fans who don't like RTS, they won't buy Halo Wars for any reason...
So the only ones buying Halo Wars are the Hardcore Halo fans, a little portion of the casual Halo fans, and some RTS fans, enough to be a million seller, but not to make half of a main Halo title...
