Well the numbers are in, and I have to say I am surprised... KZ2 lifetime will easily outsell HW... that is impressive :o It seems that the Halo name is not as huge as I thaught it would be... at least not in other genres outside FPSs...

IMO the real question is if releasing HW hurt the future sales of H3: ODST... maybe some casual Halo players wont try again, seeing that they burnt their hands with HW...

What are you talking about?

I just finished Halo Wars and it was awesome.  There is NO conceivable way that releasing a good game in a different genre can hurt future sales of a game in the original genre.

 

Yes it can... bealive me if lets say Gran Turismo would take the quality minigame route it would hurt the franchise in the longrun, even if the game swould have an over 90% rating...

 

Also, lets be honest, even if the presentation is amazing, HW did not brek no critical records, not even for a console RTS. As far as Ive seen this game it doesnt takes console RTS much further then the N64 version of Starcraft or the PS version of Warcraft 2, and those are 5th gen games... and IMO critical reception prooves that Im right. Its a great game, but with an ~ 82% rating its nothing groundbreaking. Its a solid, good looking, cool console RTS, which happenes to have one of the biggest gaming IPs supporting it, so it also has some great sales ;)
