I heard that Resistance only sold a million, the rest were bundled, so it's difficult to tell how many people liked the game or just wanted a free game with the console. I agree with your sales, but I think R2 will sell faster(1st week-1 month) than AC, but AC will have legs. Also, you say R2 is very gory, does that mean it will be banned in Germany & Japan like Gears of War 2? I think the people that are calling Gear 1.5 are PS fanboys because nobody is saying R1.5 since they were both released at the same time and I haven't heard anything new about it.

 

Generally speaking, the Gears 1.5 is a marginalization was invented by PS fanboys after IGN named Gears 2 the best technical graphics at E3, over Killzone 2. It's a reference to the graphics.

Nobody calles Resident Evil 5, Resident Evil 4.5. Trust me, it's a fanboy thing. No legitimate source with any credibility called Gears 2, Gears 1.5. All previews have been fantastic.

....which would make this statment in the OP:

The game is being labelled Gears of War 1.5 in some places.

Either ignorance or fanboyism, by definition.

I think also many peopel who have not read much about it are still assuming it is just going to be a 1.5. There is of course the fact that it is running on the UE 3.5, so that could be another reason for the 1.5

Anyway, I think the OP will be right in terms of sales and reviews
