for the sales success
I m mixed

the pre-orders are still low.
The sales will depend on how people react to the review

As I have said before, AW is a new IP and like Bioshock at his time, it will need very high praising review to make people think : "this is a must have experience, I buy it"

Also, AW is not a FPS, it is a shooter with a not so badass hero ... It is good for me, but is it good for the average Xbox360 owners ?

Because 360 owners will only buy a fps with a muscle bound baddass hero.

We really need a roll-eyes gif on this forum.

no need to roll eyes, simple 'nod' gif would suffice. Why ? Cause while 360 owners won't ONLY buy games with a muscle badass hero but they will strongly support games like that. A lot more than other IP's.

On this website I found:

Mass Effect - 2,2 m (very good game, very good story for a vg, 'critical' success, but your character can even be a girl ... ewww and no multi to teabag people or call them fags)

Gears of War - 6 m (average game at most but also very good critical reception despite of no story at all, horrible single player, not sure about teabagging but at least you play through the game as steroid packed moose that runs forward, hides behind something, shoots a bit, runs forward again etc. all that alongside other steroid packed mooses, yeeeah nobody could have any doubts about my sexual orientation after playing a game like that)

And don't even make me start on the whole Call of Duty pile of BS.

Probably you won't agree, just had to get it out of my system.

Wow, that's a completely ignorant statement. You've generalized the entire 360 audience by cherrypicking facts and giving biased and ignorant opinions about  games you've(from reading your post) probably never played.

I own a 360 and a PS3, and I love the massive amount of hit games on both consoles.

I'd wager that despite huge success in the shooter genre, the 360 has much more diversity in its software sold, considering I'd assume that it has simply sold a shit-ton more software. The large exclusives are probably less than 3 percent of the overall game pool, and you are acting as if mulitplats don't exist, and that games like Assassin's Creed, Forza, and Fable don't sell well on the 360 which is wrong. American's like shooters, yes, but to say the 360 is a "shooter box" is bringing up  an ignorant argument that wasn't even right when it died 4 years ago.

I finished both games back in the days when I still owned 360. To me GeOW was like a bad movie with good special effects, visuals keep you entertained as long as you watch it but when you walk out of the cinema, you realise how bad it was and in the end regret the time and money you've spent on it.

There's quite a lot of multiplats that are not 'core shooters' and sell better on PS3 (RE5, FFXIII or even AC). Show me at least one game (exclusive or multiplat) that sold more than GeOW on 360 and is not a shooter.
