Actually it is more important that MGS4 or Halo for a different reason. It is competing head on with both Resistance 2 mainly and to a slightly lesser extent KZ2 which is released later. Its one vs two and it has to hold its own against both.
Microsoft actually needs Gears 2 to be an honest 93-4%+ metacritic game.
But in terms of sales - yes it could sell craploads if you consider the number of people who have played the game as rentals, used copies etc on top of the number that bought it new at retail. So yes, this could be the next Halo 3 - particularly in the U.S.
Tease.
