Forums - Sales - Halo Wars Outsells KillZone 2 In First Week In US

Not surprised at all, its still Halo after all even if its Rts, 360 install base is quite big compared to ps3 and Killzone 2 had 2 days where Halo wars had 5 days.

I saw this ad none stop on Spike, Comedy centerl, TBS

 

It clearly says it's a RTS right ? RIGHT ??????

WHERE!? It says get a free trial on Live but a lot of people dont even use live >_< I dont want to get in this conversation again *leaves thread*

 



i'm sure microsoft is disappointed with halo wars sales because it bears the Halo name on it and by failing to do 1 million week 1, it's just not Halo enough. It also proves that consumers really don't care about RTS even in the Halo universe



Halo Wars was always going to win baby!



I hope my 360 doesn't RRoD

Stop acting like Halo Wars got the majority of it's sales because people thought it was an FPS ... I'd be surprised if even 1% of it's sales were the result of that.

Lengthy ads featuring no gameplay and you'd be shocked if even 1% bought the game ignorantly ?

Who do you think would be motivated to go out and buy a game they saw advertised, that didn't show the gameplay, in this current economy?  This isn't holiday season where people have Christmas lists and others buy for them.

This is true but can you imagine a Halo spin of game every year? Il die! lol...Halo Tennis...Halo at the olympics lmao...that is the main reason I hate Nintendo because of their Million Mario spin off's! I hope this does not happen with Halo

It may have won this battle (albeit being a bit lopsided) but it is still losing the War.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)     

    

Got a retro room? Post it here!

Mario can bend to that form, Halo can't.

We will never see Halo tennis or kart racing lol
