The console-playing masses just aren't turned on by RTS games. Straightforward shooters are more their cup o' tea by far. Johnny Cullen on "Which Will Sell Most Halo Wars Or Killzone 2?" http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=16#post-548 Sat, 07 Feb 2009 21:15:20 +0000 Johnny Cullen 548@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ Conisdering Killzone 2 has over 1 million pre-orders in Europe plus more undisclosed in North America and crtically acclaimed reviews mostly from media and gamers compared to a game which hasnt had alot of reviews come in yet as well as it not gonna sell well to the main series despite the brand name... Killzone 2 is the obvious winner here. It will sell over a million at least for the month (although considering it's late February release in the US, an NPD apparence could be shaky) and more in the long term. It will outsell bighitters like Halo Wars and Street Fighter IV with the only real competition from Resident Evil 5 but even then, it will still sell well. Come the Autumn though when ODST comes out, things will change, dramaticlly or not, that remains to be seen.

Being Halo it will help though and it'll do better than other RTS' we've seen on consoles so far. Lutz on "Which Will Sell Most Halo Wars Or Killzone 2?" http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=16#post-281 Tue, 03 Feb 2009 15:56:19 +0000 Lutz 281@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ In 12 days Halo 3 sold 3.3 million. KZ doesn't have that level of fan base IMO. I reckon it'll do 2 million in a month. But of these 3.3 million Halo purchases, IMO at least half will buy Halo Wars. It'll be a lot closer than the Sony camp think. LBP fell (relativly speaking) flat on it's face, and I don't think KZ2 is going to be *quite* as big as hoped for them.

KZ2 should break 2 mil, I'd be flabbergasted if Halo Wars even managed 1 mil.

I can't see how it won't, to be honest, no matter what the reviews say. ecu on "Which Will Sell Most Halo Wars Or Killzone 2?" http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=16#post-141 Mon, 02 Feb 2009 22:24:21 +0000 ecu 141@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ I'm interested to see how RE5 sells.

K2 will probably rule until Halo 3's expansion comes out. Halo Wars just .... doesn't cut it.

The only real challenger to K2 in Q1 is Resident Evil 5. Oh, and those are just fact numbers. K2 is number one on amazon.com, x-play (or whatever), gamestop and other stores I haven't mentioned. Well I think it is number 2 in amazon, (Wii Fit is beating it). Another thing is while this is "online" numbers, K2's demo is running out around my GameStop stores and they're only giving them out to the people who pre-ordered them first. But hey, who wouldn't want such a beautiful, destructive, realistic game?! =) Roybott on "Which Will Sell Most Halo Wars Or Killzone 2?" http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=16#post-113 Mon, 02 Feb 2009 21:47:55 +0000 Roybott 113@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ If you are just counting first week(end) sales then I'd say KillZone2 but long term (this year) I'd say Halo Wars. fearmonkey on "Which Will Sell Most Halo Wars Or Killzone 2?" http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=16#post-110 Mon, 02 Feb 2009 21:45:47 +0000 fearmonkey 110@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ I would be surprisd if Halo wars sold a ton of copies. FPS games are very popular, RTS games not so much, at least on consoles. I think Killzone 2 will beat Halo wars in the long run. None of the big Halo fans I know are getting it. reask on "Which Will Sell Most Halo Wars Or Killzone 2?" http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=16#post-109 Mon, 02 Feb 2009 21:41:45 +0000 reask 109@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ Yes I know bungie are not making this one but just in sales I was thinking. I mean I have seen the KZ2 footage and read reviews and it looks like it is going to be excellent.

So do most companies really. I bet it'll sell about 300,000 copies. Killzone is an FPS and has all the fanboys whipped up into a frenzy so should do pretty well.
