Halo Wars sells more than Killzone in America and on it's way to million mark

Link

Not bad, I personally LOVE both games. Though, I think Killzone 2 deserves WAY more sales for its beautiful design.

Anyways, good for Ensemble's swan song :) Supposed to hit a million in the coming weeks coming the highest selling rts

I'm surprised. I thought the RTS genre would scare some fans. As the TC said, good for Ensemble. IronBass

Anything halo that doesn't sell at least a million is either really bad or not halo at all. Sucks for KZ though, that's alot of effort with not as expected results in terms of sales.

I can only imagine the number of Halo fans that bought the game just for the Halo 3 maps.

^ ON CONSOLES, highest selling rts on consooles

don't flame, my mistake :)))

Not surprising really... Not my type of game, but I think KZ2 definately deserves it more

The ones that can't wait until ODST is released.

Install base in NA + the brand name. At least this thread isn't as bad as the RE5 sales one, also VGchartz...

Yeah... Good for a company that is closing down.

In any case this is really being sold on the Halo name mostly, much like the 50 Cent games were sold on name mostly. Shallow RTS is shallow.

There are honestly quite a few of them that actually enjoy the game, but I can't help but think alot of them though this to be a FPS. Especially with microsoft's misleading advertisement(there is no gameplay so people can only assume it's a fps like the other halos).

Here is the ad that I see on TV. It's very misleading to those who don't keep up to date on gaming.

Shame on Microsoft for no gameplay, but shame on those who blindly buy it without looking at the back of the box.

Better proof then any that games can sell on name alone. Silent-Hal

Is it just me or is VGchartz highly biased towards the 360? 250k in 2 days, how does that have any indication it will "most likely get over 2-3 million sold and will comfortably go past the 1 million mark"?

Thought there's always the hype trend where games usually sells the best the first few days when its released and then it lowers as time moves on.

Its Halo...it could be a card game and it would still sell millions :PII_Seraphim_II

Oh please, not more of the misleading advertising bs. This is not the first game that has used only CGI for a commercial. So I guess the Halo 3 believe ad was also misleading because it should be a game about toys? This is only getting outlashed because it has the name Halo in it.

It has no gameplay and people only know halo to be a FPS. Note I said this is misleading to those who do not keep up to date on gaming. Game use CGI for thier commericals but you can clearly see why type of game it is most of the time, you cannot tell that halo wars is a RTS from that advertisement.

VGChartz...

it was alays going to happen...

Its a shame though, Killzone 2 is incredible and really deserves gears 2 type sales...

Or paying attention to the Xbox Spotlight, watching any gameplay videoes or playing the free demo that's been up for nearly a month now.

Not surprising, infact, it's EXACTLY what I said would happen, and was screamed at for even predicting it.

There around 54 other videos on IGN, hundreds of pictures over 60 articles, a demo, and the back of a box. If they miss any of that then they deserve to be disappointed. And I still stand by my point of CGI, this isn't the first game to have a CGI trailer and is only getting the title of misleading because of the name Halo. If this was any other game with the same type trailer and was a RTS no one would care.

Espada12

and this matters? If KZ2 was repackaged for the 360 (we know this game isnt possible on 360, but lets imagine) and renamed Halo 4... it wouldve outsold Halo 3frankberns

lolwut?
