[QUOTE="djsifer01"][QUOTE="Andrew_Xavier"]Halo Wars will sell way more copies than KZ2, so, it's a smart business decision.darkslider99
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.

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.

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

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 go to.

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

You keep banging on these pre-order #'s yet fail to mention that w/ the KZ2 pre-order you got early demo accessin NA. You really believe every single person pre-ordered KZ2 w/ the intent to buy it?

I hate to keep ruining your fun but um yeah pre-ordering usually means intent on buying.

[QUOTE="tek91"]

who's going to backlash against a demo the reason halo does well is because it's fps not rts most likely halo wars will sell good but I don't believe it will reach 2 million in lifetime sales I could be wrong though.

and the ratings especially here I think also will hurt it's salez.

You talk about the average gamer and then say a GameSpot review will hurt Halo Wars? Average gamers don't read reviews. And if all these people were disappointed in the demo, like you say, do you think that there would be this little flack about it on the Internet, where everyone and their dogs come to complain?

no ones complaining but no ones pre ordering it that's for sure if you look at the pre order lists

Halo has a bigger fanbase than Killzone. You'd need to be a fanboy to deny this :| Not that I'm saying it deserves such a huge fanbase...but the point is it does. End of story. darkslider99

If it was by popularity than wouldn't halo wars be topping the pre-order lists ?

halo 4 would've done this

[QUOTE="Cybiotik"]Why do cows think Halo Wars will sell bad...most of the people I talked to who have played the demo and love it. People are not retarded...they can determine what an RTS is...and even little billy who buys the game thinkings its a shooter...well he still bought a copy didn't he? Point is...most consuers usually read the back of the game. SpruceCaboose

yea but if little billy played the demo he won't buy it that's my point

Where is this massive backlash against the demo you keep talking about? Everyone I talked to about it here and IRL enjoyed it, at least a bit.

[QUOTE="tek91"]

[QUOTE="Andrew_Xavier"] It's the most downloaded demo of all time, and the demo has been receiving exceptional feedback. Not to mention it has got "Halo" in the title, will you still make the thread when the NPD data suggests that Halo Wars has sold more than KZ2?CaseyWegner

the halo wars demo is going to make it worse for salez once people find out it's not a shooter. it's funny how m$ is hiding the fact that it's an rts in commercials lol

Pre-order = gamers putting money on a guaranteed purchase.

free demo = gamers trying the demo out to decide if they will purchase the game.

Killzone 2 wins

what makes you so sure about this?

I think it's common knowledge that most people that want a halo game want a shooter you think little kids that play the halo wars demo will be like OMG this is hardcore they will most likely be like what is this !!!

[QUOTE="SpruceCaboose"]The name Halo on it is good enough for a sizable sales base. I mean, through books, graphic novels, action figures, pop flavors, posters, clothing, etc, there are many things out there that shows the Halo name is a draw.SpruceCaboose

yea but not an rts I feel this game will hurt the halo name and halo salez from now on.

I don't think this will sell that good it will sell ok but not so good it's not really doing good in the preorder like killsone 2 is.

Then why are most GameStops doing midnight sales, since its based on number of preorders?

not all gamespot the one i'm going to is having a Midnight Launch for Killzone 2

and I suppose gamestop thinks halo wars will sell on name alone
