This game has a few things going for and against it:
For:
- Halo brand
- Ensemble Studios making it
Against:
- Not an FPS
- RTS games historically underwhelming on consoles
I'm sure the game will be good (not like anything Ensemble produces isn't), the Halo name will bring quite a few users, and the fact that the Halo universe is an RTS designer's wet dream (tons of cool units, epic battles) but overall, I see it stumbling due to the console control system. Unless Ensemble radically changes the typical console RTS controls, I'll predict:
- 2.25-2.75m games sold.
