Since when was GOW 3 considered a system seller?

Actually out of exsclusive games we have only seen ONE true system seller per system. MGS 4 for the PS3 and Halo 3 for the xbox 360. God of War itself won't be a system seller but a larger good library will be. The more high quality games in a library the more enticing the system is.

 

I would say Gears of War moved some systems. It didn't on day one, but it did after people played it. That is pretty normal for a new IP that happens to be a great game. (Every game that sells more than 2 million copies move systems, maybe not on day one)

Actually, I don't understand people buying consoles for one game at all. Okay, I will buy the next Xbox on day one, just because I loved the original Xbox and the Xbox360. So for me it is the system + the games on it that sell consoles.

I don't understand people waiting for a Halo / MGS / FF etc to buy a console. Why left out 3 years of gaming if you know you are buying the console anyway?
