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!!!

But......it only did it because it had Halo in the name :/

Like I said somewhere else, do you think if it was the EXACT same game with the EXACT same gameplay, but was called "Bob's Wars", it would sell this way?

 

 

Who gives a  flying fart if it has Halo in the name.  People use this excuse all the time.  The game is fun and some may even say great (for a console RTS).  That is all that should matter.  I am happy its getting really decent sales.  Because it deserves it.  Not because it has halo in the name.
