Gears 2 sales will be lower than Gears 1 sales. Nothing against Gears, it's one of my favorite shooters.
A lot of people bought only because they were waiting for Halo 3.
There wasn't that much else to buy back in October 2006.
No 360 owners had a Wii or a PS3 yet.
There are plenty of good action games and shooters.
There are plenty of good games that aren't; I bought Gears only because there was nothing else to buy at the time.
I am rebuying the 360 in September, but I will not be buying Gears 2. (Anectdotal, but I am sure I'm not the only one)
New 360 owners will feel like buying $30 Gears1 first.
I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.
