Well, so far it looks to be pretty evident that Starcraft 2 has the majority opinion.

Well, it was silly to compare both. Starcraft 2 will easily sell more than any Halo game ever did. The first one did 9.5 millions.

In terms of quality: one is on PC, and the other one is on a console. Nothing to think about.

      Halo 3 will probably pass Starcraft I when ODST is released.

Well, Starcraft 2 will probably sell 12 million and Halo Wars only 3 million. And PC is the home of RTS so Starcraft 2 will get 95% on Gamerankings and Halo Wars 85% at best.

But since it was brought up in the thread:

Ensemble are better than Blizzard, and Starcraft has got nuffin on Age of Empires 1&2.


Age of Empires 2 was easily the best RTS in it's time.
(AoE came out in 1997, Starcraft in 1998 and AoE 2 came in 1999)

I beg to differ. All Ensmelbe did was copy paste the same civ 10 times over and maybe add a few nuances here in there, very tiny ones, and left it at that. Meanwhile Blizzard made 3 or 4 (depending on the game) completely differing races. Blizzard >> Ensemble, however Ensemble isn't bad themselves.  WC3>SC> AOEs

amen on the copy paste, they did that awful star wars one too



Last year's game of the year turned out to be Silent Hill : Shattered Memories (online GOTY was COD 6).  This year's GOTY leader to me is Heavy Rain.

      Starcraft II and Halo Wars seem to be the most talked about rts games of the moment.  Which one do you think will sell the most copies and which one will be the better game?

 

Not only will it be a better game, but StarCraft II will outsell Halo Wars by a ton.  Sales won't even be close.
