In America at least, it did GREAT for an RTS, who cares about it's name, it's broken a cycle of the lackluster RTS-on-consoles vibe, for that, I congratulate it. Halo Wars did well, while KZ2 just crossed 1 mill WW, I congratulate that too.

People shouldn't be upset about either of these, look at it this way: an RTS on a console sells these #s first week - a first = AWESOME. PS3 exclusive FPS from a company with a not-so-great rep sells 1 million in 2 weeks. Both of these games did wonders and both are considered great!! Guess what: that's ALL that matters! Go Halo Wars/360!!1 Go Killzone 2/PS3!!! From these two benchmarks, the industry IS moving forward, that's great for gamers!!!

 

Agree with the happiness over RTS selling on consoles. But really CGI, anybody loving an RTS shud only play it on the PC. Even 2007 games like Word In Conflict destroy any console RTS. RTS is all about micro management and being a control freak and you can't compare the 16 buttons of a controller to 100+ buttons and button combinations on a keyboard+mouse
