| Phrancheyez said: I don't see it moving a lot of consoles because like you said, I think the FPS community is already established on 360..it will move some though, but like I said of the PS3 - I think the overall lineup between now and christmas is what will sell consoles, not particularly any one game. |
Strike one: Gears is not an FPS. It is a TPS and the 360 does not have many of those.
In regards to the OT: Gears is a blockbuster franchise. The first game sold over 5 million. When you couple the anticipation of Gears 2 with the now cheap 360 SKUs, that is a very appealing prospect. I know some friends in college who have limited budgets, but will be highly tempted to purchase a $199 360 and a copy of Gears 2.
