Forums - Microsoft - Congratulations Ensemble on Halo Wars annihilating expectations.

What a sad thread. The halo wars content is reaching, but it's fine if that's your opinion, but the dig at kill zone 2 is so fucking sad. Consider yourself reported for stealth trolling, and I hope you get the help you desperately need if you don't think that the halo name had nothing to do with the sales.

Go troll all day if u want. And please do me a favor, and actually read what he said, nvr mentioned the K word in the first post.



Above I'm a proud Gran Turismo fan, not a Sony fanboy, and now a proud 360 owner, but sharing xbox live accts ATM

End of 2009 Predictions (made Jan 1, 2009): My predictions were pretty accurate, the 360 was over and the Wii was just under.

Wii: 65 mil (yea I'm crazy) 360: 35 mil (its getting there) PS3: 30 mil (the slim better do well)

End of 2010 Predictions (made Jan 7, 2010):

Wii: 81 mil  360: 47 mil PS3: 45 mil


@ gran

You give starcraft too much credit. He was talking about kill zone 2.



Well Halo Wars proves that Halo brand is very strong, great sales for an RTS on a console, i just wonder how much would Mario RTS be able to sell?

Killzone 2?  What are you talking about?

Have you played Halo Wars in it's entirety DMJ?  Because I have.  And it is a genuinly good, and original game.  It was not very hyped, and has sold well based on good reviews.  Did the Halo name hurt? No.  But its ridiculous to claim this isn't a great, strong-selling game because it has a good name.

 



starcraft - Playing Games = FUN, Talking about Games = SERIOUS

I must say, I enjoy the game very much. Excellent job Ensemble. Good note to go out on.



I don't know who's expectations you're talking about Starcraft, but I damn well expected this game to sell to at least one million, likely more. Why can't people understand that when you use an established franchise of this magnitude, the genre often means less than the word on the cover - in this case, "HALO". I mean, really.



It's selling relatively well,considering it is an RTS on a console.

However,the only reason it's selling the way it is is because it has Halo in it's name.So far it hasn't "annihilated" anything...at least not yet.

Still,the sales have been good so far.



funny thread... some people were expecting it to outsell kz2. ... so how is that beating expectations...



Starcraft you're not dumb. The sentence psrock bolder was about kz2. You're a known troll, and that's what that was. You're not stupid.

I'm sure halo wars is a good game, but to believe that the halo name has nothing to do with sales is silly.
