When you take an RTS and put Halo in the title it sells like hotcakes so I'm going to guess that no PS3 title will touch the sales of Halo ODST

Halo ODST is an FPS...

He was referring to Halo Wars and how its brandname made it sell very well despite the game being in a fairly niche genre.

 

I wouldn't say Halo Wars sold like hotcakes. It sold very well, particularly for an RTS, but I think "selling like hotcakes" is reserved for the shooters in the series.

I can't see Halo Wars doing more than 2.5 million LT, while I would be shocked if ODST did less than 5 million, and I would think it'd sell around 6 million when all is said and done.

Not to go off topic, but does anyone actually know how much hotcakes sell? Because I think that's important when it's used as a simile regarding sales.

I suppose it was used back in the 60s, and the name stuck
