@thewastedyouth Because it was a halo
game, that alone would attract those who
generally don't play strategy games.
Most console gamers seem to go for
shooters and action games, games like
this generally find a much bigger market
on the PC.

@ thewastedyouth - Ouch, flop territory.
I thought the critical acclaim would
give this game some decent sales.

I
haven't played it yet. Doesn't sound
like my type of game. But I'm gonna
give it a try regardless when I can grab
it for $20.

ok wtf, why did Halo Wars sell like 2
million and this hasn't!!!

So glad the console version got great
reviews. I was worried that something
might be lost converting to console
controls. So looking forward to playing
this I hope this has legs like a
supermodel. Almost as excited by this as
valkyria chronicles before I bought it.
Best game of the generation came at the
start, maybe second best game will come
at the end.
