Heavy Rain will win despite the game not getting a big advertising push at least on tv. That much was expected here not seeing Alan Wake commercials is a big shock maybe MS spent to much on Final Fantasy XIII

It surprises me that this is even a question. When they were both waiting to release I always assumed Alan Wake would sell far more than Heavy Rain. But then I always assumed it was going to get a massive marketing push which I really haven't seen anything of yet.

At the moment I guess I'll have to assume that Heavy Rain is going to win out in the end. Which means I'm really going to win my bet against Slimebeast.

Damn! I was hoping you had forgotten about that.

I honestly believe that when all is said and done, Heavy Rain will be the game I enjoyed more but Alan Wake will be the better seller (unless Red Dead steals its thunder). Quote me.
