If Halo Wars sells 5+ Million, to me it means that if you make a quality game and slap Halo on it, it will sell well. It will do little for the RTS genre on consoles as a whole.

Hmmm, I guess we'll just have to wait and see. If it DOES stimulate the entire genre(as we know Halo has the power to do) then all we need is for Square Enix to make a Halo JRPG and BAM: JRPGs are back in buissness.

GOTY Contestants this year: Dead Space 2, Dark Souls, Tales of Graces f. Everything else can suck it.

Because Gears of War 2 would be included in that. And that shows the amount of searches done through Google for the given subject.

Mmhmm?

Does that dismiss Google Trends as an accurate sales prediction?

I agree Kantor, google trends can't be used as some sort of evidence that a game will sell higher, this is just search trends which change hour by hour, just because a game gets a lot of searches doesn't mean it will be a success or sell a zillon copies.
