As someone said earlier, there isn't a huge fanbase for console RTS. However, this lack of a fanbase does not mean that everyone has tried an RTS. If anything, the Halo label, if it doesn't sell itself, might make people want to test this RTS and see if it is the right game for them. I may be biased by my love of the Halo series, but I still believe that this game will hook both the RTS players and the Halo fans.
