Why people say GeOW2 will be a system seller?

Why? Because

1) Its a huge online game with co-op and up to ten players.
2) Story mode looks ten times as thrilling to play as the first gears had.
3) Friends of gears 1 fans(who happend to number in the millions) will want to get gears 2 as well so they can play it with they're buddies
4) Its got a freaking chainsaw attached to a gun. What does Killzone have again? Good lighting?

 

Killzone 2 has the best graphics man has ever seen. But I do think Gears 2 will be a hit.

 

Look, the first Xbox sold 15,000,000 consoles in the US. Right now the Xbox360 is already at 12,000,000 in the US. How many people do you really think are going to buy a 360 for Gears 2 now, and not for Halo and not for the original Gears?

 

I think it will sell a good 6,000,000 units, but I don't think we are going to see any where near a Halo 3 level boost.

BTW:

I still think the first Gears had the best commercial ever. I think the commercial itself sold some games, without people even knowing what the game was about.

Seriously, what commercial ever can top that!? That commercial was definitely the reason I picked up Gears of War
