Microsoft & Halo have a foothold on the US market.

I think the OP is a little slow, so I'm going to write down two words, and bold the more important one.

HALO Wars.

I think that Hyruken is just Rock_on acting like a 360 fanbot. I can't believe that someone could be that oblivious to why Halo Wars would outsell KZ2.

I think about 60% of xbox owners have xbox live. I don't know where I've heard it before.. Maybe it's changed now though.

I'm not surprised by this. What I am surprised by is Killzones 2nd week in the UK more than double the 1st week of HW in the UK.
Not to mention KZ2 sold more than 200,000 more copies in 3 days than HW could sell in 5 days WW.

PLAYSTATION. over 200 million units sold yet the ps3 sturgles to sell.

I am waiting for the Gamestop employee to come on and claim 3 people brought the game back saying they thougt it was a FPS cos they is so stupid they cannot read.

Reasons for buying...

1. The game is Halo based so huge interest.
2. It is actually a very good RTS on a console and could even be the best to date (subjective)
3. It has received good reviews and those who have played the game if anything are being even more positive (Strong word of mouth).
4. This is America and they are blowing things up a lot and shooting aliens.
5. It is on the Xbox.

Reasons for Returning..

1. I am stupid.
2. I am unable to read and stupid.
3. My mother bought it because she is stupid.
4. Stop calling me Stew Pid.
5. I do not own an Xbox.

I think that just about covers it.

Saying that people could have tried it on xbox live is the exact kind of argument that the decision makers used in promoting this video. It's not about how many people use xbox live, it's about deliberately misleading the consumer, whether it did or not.

PS:here are the adverts across the world

EU:

America:

I couldn't find it, but there is another trailer with review scores on it like "5 out of 5 stars" and shows the same clip. I wanted to see if it mentioned the word shooter or something, as it has replaced the original commercial, which as someone pointed out, does not show what the game actually is, though it's pretty evident.

Guys shooting each other can only be a couple of genres. Even if it was survival horror, or third person like metal gear, at least it's not a completely different kind of game. :P

Who gives a  flying fart if it has Halo in the name.  People use this excuse all the time.  The game is fun and some may even say great (for a console RTS).  That is all that should matter.  I am happy its getting really decent sales.  Because it deserves it.  Not because it has halo in the name.

Halo
