I think grears 2 will sell less then gears 1. Bets anyone? Gears 2 will actually have competition including MGS4, Resistance 2, GTA4, Killzone 2, etc.

Gears 1 went up against what? Lair on 5 PS3's?


And Infamous looks so much cooler the Gears it's insane. Also gears is bland which I was only able to discover after purchasing it myself. Will not get gears 2, I will rent. no doubt it will be nice and short like it's daddy.

I don't see how PS3 exclusives could hurt the sales of a 360 exclusive, maybe if it was multiplatform and gears was also available on the PS3 then the 360 sales of Gears 2 would suffer.

 

Gears 1 went up against Resistance 1, 2 brand new IP's, the most important games of their respective consoles at the time.

And about infamous, I believe that many thought Lair looked cool as well.

I have yet to see actual gameplay of infamous (has anyone) so I would not comment on infamous right now, because trailers are supposed to sell a game and of course they look "cool". Also, I don't think you should be calling gears bland when until recently I only realised that there was a difference between infamous and prototype (and that difference was their names). Action in a sandbox, check (and done to death I might add). Super human powers, check. Trying to play off the "oohhh I'm an anti-hero badass" as if it were something new in games, check.
