What are these "amazing reviews" it has been getting? As far as i can tell it has got 1 review.
And that was from Sony themselves in OPM.....And they gave it 90%!! They gave 100% to Bioshock 2, they even gave the new AVP game 90% which is a truely awful game!
Point being if they themselves gave it 90% then you can bet your ass most other scores will not be as favourable.
I have no doubt this game will be good but some people are trying desperatly hard to make the franchise sound a lot bigger then it really is. Jesus man Halo ODST which has been out what 3-4 months has nearly outsold both the GOW games combined!
The last game sold what 2.5m wih over 120m consoles to sell to? That does not sound like a huge franchise to me.
If people are expecting this to sell millions in its 1st week they are going to be dissapointed. The knock on effect into console sales i bet will me minimal.
