Thanks for trying to give some life to this thread coolbeans.
With the success of the first Gears of War it seemed like Microsoft found another franchise that could become nearly as successful as Halo. But 53 weeks after Halo 2 released, it had already outsold Halo's total sales whereas Gears of War 2 is ~600k behind the original Gears. So why was Halo 2 able to rapidly grow the franchise whereas Gears 2 will be battling to match the sales of the original game? Also do you think the fact that Gears 2 has not yet matched Gears' sales that means there is not much room for growth in the franchise?
