Are you forgetting that most people who want Gears of War 2 have already bought a 360 for it? Are you forgetting that the PS3 has some excellent shooters coming up? Are you forgetting that those hardcore GTA fans have already bought GTA IV?

Give me a break. The 360 is great, but it can't beat the PS3 even when it has excellent games, better online and better price. Look at last year's WW holiday season.

 

 

 

Here we go again, the weird thought that people seem to think that the only people buying the sequel would have bought the original (and thus the console already). I know many people whom I have convinced to buy a 360 because of the awesomeness of Gears 1, I'm sure in the lead up to gears 2, those who have played Gears 1 on a friends console or who just want to get straight into the sequel knowing gears 1 plot wasn't that good will buy a 360 when a pack comes out with Gears 2 included. Ditto the people who played Gears 1 on a mates console and want nothing else on the 360 (why would they have already bought one when you know Gears 2 will be packed in with 360's at its release?).

By your logic, Motorstorm and R2 won't move consoles either, because everyone who buys them would have the original and thus a PS3 already.

Honestly, you've put a target on your back by immediately using the label X-bots. Now you come up with logic that is both illogical AND puts down the PS3's exclusives as well.


Gears 2 and R2 are both going to be exceptional games, Gears 2 will move more consoles because of what it is (sequel to one of the best selling games this generation, a 3rdPS so not "yet another FPS" and it's the flagship title for this generation of xbox). R2 won't sell as many consoles because sony failed to provide it with the "flagship PS3 title" that would make it a competitive system seller, it's just a really good launch title (i.e CoD2 for the 360). Whilst people were saying "GEARS IS AWESOME!!!" when Gears launched, when Resistance 1 launched it got "Resistance is great! but I'm waiting for FFXIII, GOW3 and MGS4, the heavy hitters...". You have only yourselves to blame PS3 loyalists.

By the way, interesting how your sig clearly shows you're a troll (1 ban and you telling people to stop trolling whilst misrepresenting a guess as fact).

Anyway, at OP:

I don't think 360 will be ahead of PS3 for the next 7 of 8 weeks. I would say it'll be for at least the next 3, then after that who knows.
