Gamefly Charts: Halo Wars Topples Killzone 2

Gamerdeals.net writes:

"Last week, Killzone 2 made gamefly chart history by being the first PS3 exclusive title to top the typically Xbox 360 dominated cross platform list. The historic week at the top of the Gamefly charts was short lived as Killzone 2 has been toppled by Halo Wars.

For the week of February 17, 2009, Halo Wars takes the top spot on the cross-platform Gamefly Top Ten 'Most Queued' list. Following close behind is Killzone 2 (PS3). House of the Dead: Overkill is at the top of the Nintendo Wii Queue as well...

why do I get the feeling most people don't know its a rts

Keep in mind that there is probably at least twice the amount of people that have gamefly and a 360 than gamefly and a ps3 right now in the U.S. (even taking away Halo's popularity for a minute).

Who is really surprised by a story like this? I'll get Killzone 2 day one (actually I have it reserved), Halo Wars was good demo wise...dont know If i'll get that. What IS surprising to me is that a RTS game can get more attention than a FPS. Halo or not....crazy.

I hope you do see the ultimate fail with posting metacritic scores at this moment?

Halo Wars is an overrated game.

Its a mediocre shooter and doesnt even do anything special, just like halo3.

Its obvious Killzone is a better game

I fully expect Halo Wars to sell more.

I mean, it has HALO in the name.

North America only i guess?

The people who care about halo Care, thats who. Just By calling it a mediocre shooter goes to show your trying to make cows look badAnimal-Mother

Its obvious cows dont care about a casual franchise like halo. they have better taste in games.

they should put halo on wii, it'll go along nice with the other games of similar quality on that system, like Cooking mama, and my little pony

Dude, I'd accept it if I were you - even your biggest first-person shooter (strong genre) can be outsold by a RTS (weak genre)...

Wouldn't it be funny if the Killzone devs made a new RTS called Killzone Wars to try and "kill" Halo Wars.:lol:tundraknight8

Exactly, you could make Halo Barbie Fun Time and the lemmings would line up and fork out there parents money for the shovelware.

No, I mean outsold because I do believe Halo Wars can outsell the big shooter Killzone 2.

It wouldn't be a good sign; a game in a weak genre outsells the exceedingly hyped and critically acclaimed important shooter in the very popular genre. I wouldn't like it, either...

if that overrated game Halowars outsells Killzone2 (shooter of the year on Lock) it will just showcase how much bias there is in the media to downplay sony's brilliance. and how reluctant the general public is to think for themselves and pick the best game over a over hyped over marketed generic game like halo warsLunchBox-

No, that would simply mean that a greater amount is interested in Halo Wars. Halo is bigger than Killzone 2; that's why. So you should not be astounded if this "overrated" RTS outsells your exceedingly hyped shooter.
