Forums - Sales - Halo Wars didn't match up to Killzone's first week sales.

I think you twist the numbers to the way you see fit.

"a few more weeks for Halo Wars to hit a million"

2 tops ... 1 if it has decent legs in NA.

Less hype, and an RTS, I mean really...

Never crossed my mind that HW would outsell KZ2.

For the record thats some nice ass sales for an RTS..

 

Next disscussion should be about what has the longest legs..

"I don't trust #XboxOne & #Kinect 2.0, it's always connected" as you tweet from your smartphone - irony 0_o

Epic fail for Halo Wars! except that Microsoft is gonna make a crap ton of profits from it. questionable if Killzone 2 will be profitable at all.

Only the ignorant thought halo wars would outsell kz2.

Yeah sure there was lots of bs from ps3 fanboys that loads of people bought halo wars thinking it was another fps...

Yeah sure, some people did. Just like some people thought kz2 would live up to it's hype.

It lived up to and exceeded the hype.

TacoBoy, Killzone 2 will easily make a profit. Easily.

lol

but RTS vs FPs isn't fair

then again it is a HALO branded game....disappointing sales for it in that respect

yet great sales in the RTS on a console way

 

That's very faulty logic. You really think for instance a Halo puzzle game would sell millions?

genre is everything

hey even mario branded games sell in the millions despite not being platformers

but you did read my last line didn't you

 



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

You can't fault Halo for not living up to Marios epicness. Mario is king. Not even Sonic could keep up. Mario is also much more mass market friendly. Halo is doing quite well. Halo Wars should at least match Final Fantasy tactics on PS 1. That's epicness if it can.



I still never expect K2 to sell this well



PLAYSTATION®3 is the future.....NOW.......B_E_L_I_E_V_E

 

 

Congrats to both games.

KZ2 is an amazing FPS.

Halo Wars is/will be the #1 RTS on console....probably this entire Gen.



To be honest I'm a little bit surprised but not too much so. If it was the other way around then I definately would not of been surprised. PS3 doesn't sell as many games and Halo is, well Halo.

However lets not call Halo Wars a failure, it's still sold a lot of copies especially for a console RTS and I'm sure it's development cycle and costs are a hell of a lot lower than Killzone's.



Lets see...a console RTS, a genre dead on consoles with the name of Halo, or a First Person Shooter that has been hailed as the second coming of gaming Jesus since 2005, for who sells the most?

Killzone 2 wins.
