GameStop Chooses Halo Wars Over KZ2 For Midnight Launch?

[QUOTE="darkslider99"][QUOTE="djsifer01"]If all Halo fans realize this is a RTS then this game will flop hard. IMO its a horrible business decision and KZ2 will outsell Halo Wars as RTS are not that popular. I see alot of returns for the misinformed.tek91

the demo will kill the salez before they make the mistake of buying it.

[QUOTE="tek91"]

The Amazon pre-order list and GameSpot lists recycle all the time. As for play, that is Europe, where the 360 isn't as popular, nor is Halo. If people were not pre ordering, why would they do a midnight release at GameSpot, since they are based on pre-order numbers

yea and killzone 2 been # 1 95% of the time it only scored #2 in amazon being beat by a wii game I haven't seen halo wars #1 can you show me halo wars being #1 at gamestop pre-order thank you.

Killzone 2 also get's a Midnight Release at gamestop depends on which gamestop you got to.

I think some gamestops expect it to sell as much as halo 3 because it has the name halo in it..

darkslider99

dude killzone 2 is #1 on Gamestop

it's #2 at Amazon

I mean, right now, Halo Wars is #23 and #31 on Amazon's best selling lists. Saints Row 2 is # 2, and KZ 2 is #7, and it rolls over every hour.

Does this mean that Saint's Row 2 is better selling than the Wii (which is # 3)

SpruceCaboose

look at that #23 and #31 that's pretty bad and no time has halo wars even gotten close to Killzone 2 like I said 95% of the time Killzone 2 is on top.

You guys think because it's got the name halo on it it's going to sell like halo 3 lol and it will probably do worst now that it flopped

[QUOTE="darkslider99"] Gamestop doesn't do returns on opened products. do they? I know EB Games doesn't (I live in Canada), which is owned by Gamestop now. In fact, most stores won't returned open electronics.SpruceCaboose

who's going to hate a free demo most likely people will be thankful for the demo for stoping them from making a mistake.

It got a bad score HERE @ Gamespot and flopped according to the rules of the 2nd most popular internet forum on this site.. Even though I despise the Halo series, how is that going to hurt its sale?

why should mods not discuss things here? and what system am i supposedly biased towards?

Because they are pre orders, meaning people paid for them in advance. Thus, it counts as a sale? He's using the same link you used.

Play.com UK

Gamestop.com

in other words i get suspended for having my own views that don't agree with yours.

everybody that posts here thinks you favor the 360 over the ps3

truth is the only reason why you bother defending the 360 here is because cows would make alot of statements and contradict one another and create double standards to make themselfs feel better knowing they picked up a ps3 instead of a 360.

im sure people remember the "it took the 360 an entire year to get a "great" game" era

Dang, if I was a GameStop manager I'd have BOTH games as midnight releases. On the same night.

I'd set up a HW line and a KZ2 line about a meter apart (roughly throwing punch distance), set up some cameras (to capture it for Youtube) then sit back with some popcorn and wait for the inevitable fanboy fireworks.

Jacumov

Was thinking the same thing. A nice fanboy riot would stir up sales for both games!

It might get even more epic than the PS3 (I think it's the PS3) mugging. :)
