You know it’s a slow news day when random tidbits like this are being reported, but nonetheless according to a recent survey conducted by the Nielsen Company even weeks after its release Halo Wars is the game most people are interested in buying (not to be confused with the amount sold).
Video Game Purchase Interest
RANK Game Definite Interest
1 Halo Wars 23%
2 Resident Evil 5 20%
3 Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars 18%
4 Guitar Hero: Metallica 16%
5 Dragon Ball: Evolution 15%
6 The Godfather II 14%
7 Street Fighter IV 14%
8 Killzone 2 13%
9 Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time 12%
10 NASCAR Kart Racing 12%
Kind of sad that there is more people interested in buying Dragon Ball: Evolution then Street Fighter IV and Killzone 2, but it does beg the question… What game are you most interested in buying?

Definitely not Halo Wars, but I don’t believe in console RTS games.
Halo Wars?, never did i have this listed as my most wanted. Very baisc RTS in my opinion. SFIV was mine.
I’m most interested in buying Batman, but it’s not out yet, so I guess, erm, I’m still well behind the times and I’m most interested in buy Rock Band/World Tour, just poverty keeps getting in the way.
im looking for RE5 and SF4…i dont want a dumbed down RTS.
Go on N4G, look at hottest games.
The end.
Yup, Halo Wars deserves it despite what you PS3 fanboys say.
It is a great console RTS and one that proves a console RTS can be enjoyable and work. Ensemble did an excellent job with it.
I really enjoy the game and I’ve never even considered an RTS before. I’ve played a bit on the PC but it just gets boring and the genre just didn’t seem for me. Halo Wars has changed that and now I’m trying Total War and returning to some console RTS.
I think too many just hurt over the fact nobody cares about that mediocre FPS Killzone 2 when every PS3 fan was acting like it was the 2nd coming of Christ yet again and yet again the buying public respond with “no thank you”. haha even Dragon Ball is more wanted. Cry more.
Halo Wars was great, Just hated the bloddy leader rushes in multiplayer
well put tea bag, well put indeed.
The only reason I can see that edging out Resident Evil 5 is that because all the people that are considering Halo Wars already have RE5
It does have Halo in its name.
Obviously Halo wars. SFIV was a complete disappointment and Resi5 is only worthy playing in coop.
You guys are idiots about saying how sad it is that RE5 and Killzone2 are at the bottom. REALLY. If you don’t see it already, the people that want halo wars already have bought RE5 and/or Killzone2. People that decided to buy RE5 and Killzone2 bought it within the first month. And now they are just looking through the left over rubble. lol
That piece of shit ? Lmao!
Operation Flashpoint 2.
@TeabagUrDrumset
The reason you feel that way probably has to do with the fact that Halo Wars is to RTS as Fisher Price is to cooking. It’s a starter for the less informed. Simply because of the fact that it has “HALO” slapped on it like a sticker is the reason people bought it over say something like Tom Clancy’s End War, which in reality is an all-around better RTS.
It just makes me sad to see people praise such a horrible video game/video game series.
i have too many games to finish right now but halo wars will be mine soon..yes its the best, most accessible RTS on a console and that’s coming from PC gamer.
360 rules this gen.
LMAO @ Killzone 2.
No one gives a shit about the PS3rd.
PS3 fanboys = jealous, delusional retards who have been shafted this entire generation.
PS3 is a joke.
HHOOAAww!!! to many xbox fanboys here… they are bashing ps3… when they don’t have anything more than “HALO” this year… it’s awesome how they talk &#** about ps3… “ps3 is a joke”… when right now ps3 has more quality games than xbox… it’s just awesome!!!! they do talk about KZ2, but they don’t talk about infamous, uncharted, LBP, FFXIII vs., new hideo kojima’s game, MAG… xbox rocks??? and RROD and E74 rocks to????
Boy, I think i’m slightly retarded after reading DUde!!’s post. Did you happen to forget the Fallout 3 expansions that the PS3 will NEVER get? If you forgot that, then you probably forgot about Fable II, Left4Dead, and Star Ocean: The Last Hope. Not to mention you won’t see FFXIII vs. for about another two years or so, but hey, keep those spirits up.
And now to all Xbots out there, you’ve also made me slightly retarded. Not only does the PS3 have some awesome titles on the way, they blow most anything out of the water that the Xbox is planning to release anytime soon. Oh wooow, another Halo game is coming out? How original. I’m sure it will be another failure compared to the original, as Halo 2 and 3 could never, ever match the innovation and sheer playability of the Halo:Combat Evolved.
xbox is a gold star but ps3 has it beat bye the blue ray but the xbox is up there becouse of halo3 halo3 odst and halowars
i have halowars and for yous geting it its asome but i beat it on easy but easy is hard playing it for five days
