Killzone 2 will be the better game with better reviews but Halo Wars will sell better. Much better.

Pretty much.

360 IS OPERATIONAL AFTER 37 DAYS!

RTS vs FPS???? Not good to compare... IMO



4 ≈ One

Hmmm, I know it was pointed out they are different genres but that is exactly why this thread has me scratching my head as to it's relevance unless it's seen from a purely business point of view. Um yeah I'm sure both will sell well unles they get underwhealming reviews.

Halo Wars is looking pretty sweet from what I can tell (not being too hyped up which is a good thing imo) and KillZone 2 looks amazing though I hope it lives up to the hype it's generating. If it can do what R2 is doing with the sense of total war as well as being a top multiplayer game, than PS3 owners will have 2 FPS that a lot of 360 owners would love to own. And the 360 is the FPS console of choice. Graphically I still think Gears 2 still looks better mostly due to the texture work.

As for those who say RTS don't work on consoles, I actually found Kanes Wrath quite intuitive. Apparently Red Alert 3 is even more so. Still I don't understand why there is no official keyboard and mouse support for the 360.



To be completely honest, I have no idea either way. I hate RTS, I know that, cept for Warcraft III.



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

Anyone of you guys actually see some vids of halo wars??? it looks boring as can be and this is coming from the biggest fan of Ensemble (myself), compared to KZ2 where i'll be tearing you guys up online and having a blast...

Dude, your name is thejuicingamer, you're one of the biggest 360 haters around here. Every 360 exclusive has something wrong with it in your eyes. You're incapable of having an unbiased opinion. Why would we listen to you?

whoa now. Reviews are up for grabs but how could you say killzone 2 will sell more?

Lets not forget that NA is the biggest fps fanbase, with Europe to a lesser extent, and PS3s userbase in NA pales in comaprison to 360's. That automatically shows that its sales legs and launch numbers can only be so great.

Lets also not forget that Killzone 1 was a flop and quite the forgettable game.

Halo Wars will sell on brand name alone and the 5+ million NA userbase will give it a even bigger boost. Lets not forget how MS loved to advertise its biggest 1st party games while Sony tends to be cheap on the advertising.

not trying to offend you, just saying. Guess its all up in the air now.

 

Killzone sold over 2 million, despite being a bad game.  And it sold better in Europe than in NA, because it was made by European devs and was more heavily advertised in the region (they even had a Collector's Edition exclusive to Europe).

Killzone 2 will sell well enough because of marketing and graphics alone.  Just look at Crysis.  It was hardly an original game, but it sold a million in only 3 months because of "teh graphix!"

OT: FPS vs RTS?  That makes no sense.

I hope Halo Wars sells extremely well, if only to show MS that they were idiots for closing a studio as great as Ensemble.  ;_;

Yeah, but the first game had a ton of marketing around it and it was for the Playstation 2. It'll probably sell well, but who knows against a Halo game? No way to tell.

If you notice, I made no mention of how I think it will sell compared to Halo Wars. :P
