Halo brand + double install base compared to PS3 = huge sales in america.

 

Bit of a cop out there

The game is an RTS, has horrible reviews (didn't lamespot give it like a 6 or something?) has had zero advertising, i have not seen one advert,poster etc for Halo Wars. Have seen millions for KZ2, which is expected due to the high amount of money Sony spent on the advertising.

= KZ2 should of pissed all over Halo Wars. 

Remember that whole "It is an fps game, america loves fps games"?

 

Keep in mind that half the people who bought it were either..

A: Didn't know it was an RTS

B: It said "Halo" on the front.

And the other half knew what it was/wanted it.

Yes hardcore fanbase that makes up 90 percent of the 360 didn't know it was an rts... it says it on the f'n box and a quick look at the back shows it.  I'm sure there were some ignorant people, but most knew what they were getting into
