The Halo name is strong, you can't deny that, and the game is exclusive, so it has draw power.

Even if you take only a third of the lowest selling Halo, you get 2 million plus. I don't see this game selling less than 2 million.

yeah but this is an rts and they barely sell on console so its really uncertain

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.

All I can say is subtract 1 sale from those totals, cause I'm not buying Halo Wars. RTS? not for me unless its on Computer.

Halo Wars: 2 million



Prepare for termination! It is the only logical thing to do, for I am only loyal to Megatron.

Oh it's an RTS?! This will fall so far into the shadows of StarCraft 2 and a possible DoW2 that you'll mistake it for a hedgehog. IMO.

I'll be with the few of the odd ones out here: Just shy of 1 million
