There is nothing to argue really.
Im not trying to make a political statement here. Just saying that masses tend to be like sheep. If every 20th person buying Gears 1 and 2 says "Ok, patriotism and war is not in now. Instead ill go and buy another type of game" for gears 3...and gears 2 sells 7 million...gears 3 loses ~40000 in sales.
Trust me I know what I'm talking about. I grew up in former Yugoslavia during a war... Last thing anyone wants to do there right now is have anything to do with the word war.
