Halo Wars: 639k (Only March Sales)
KillZone 2: 621k (February+March Sales combined)

Halo Wars a Console RTS made by a now dissolved developer team manages to easily outsold the mighty-hyped to heaven Killzone 2 on PS3...a FPS that was supposed to be COD4 killer or Halo Killer!

When Sony themselves cant manage to make a commercialy successful exclusive Hit title on their console then how they expect third-party devs to make exclusive games for the system?

and no you cant use the old "x360 has a bigger user base" argument because:


Xbox 360:
Gears 1 sold 1.00m in 3 weeks to ~3.4m 360s
Bioshock - 0.49m in 10 days (0.64m over 40 days) to ~6.1m 360s.
COD4 - 1.57m in 4 weeks to ~7.8m 360s.

PS3:

Killzone 2 sold 0.62m in 5 weeks to ~7.2m PS3s

COD4 - 0.44m in 4 weeks to ~2.4m PS3s.
GTAIV - 1.0m in 5 days to ~4.2m PS3s.
MGS4 - 0.74m in 3 weeks to ~4.8m PS3s.
CODW@W - 0.60m in 2 weeks to ~6.1m PS3s.

Weren't there 3 PS3 games in the top 10 this week? That's more than usual. But yeah, KZ2 should be doing better.

Thats only more embarassing for the cows :lol: Dont act like its universally a bad game. Metacritic pegs it at 82. Halo Wars is a success in the real world, and slapped around KZ2 in NA like it wasnothing.

Nice try! but i made it clear that im specially talking about sales pov here, also i personaly dont agree with the GS review. about 70 other sites and magazines gave Halo Wars from 8.0 to 10, So i consider this a good and actually critically praised game, and GameSpot's review is in the minority here.("this is sw , we only count gs reviews bla bla..." i know but reality is different)
