| Uberkiffer said: Lol there is some serious fanboyism showing in the polls. Gears 3 will easily outsell Uncharted 3. Gears 3 is the end of an epic, will be touted to no end and back, is already known for its stellar online play, and has a very devoted fanbase. Yes UC3 has multiplayer, but it is more known for its single player experience. Yes, it has a devoted fanbase; but that fanbase is millions in numbers behind the Gears fanbase. And, yes, it will be touted to no end and back; but shooting based games simply sell better on Xbox. All this and not to mention that Gears 3 is going to be an extremely big exclusive fish in a small exclusive pond for MS; whereas UC3 will be competing with Infamous2 and Killzone3 (similar longevity genres). |
inFamous 2 and Killzone 3 are launching within the first half of the year, Uncharted 3 in the 2nd....
Also, did you play Gears 2 anywhere near launch online? It was just broken, shotguns were king and that was mostly down to luck. Of course horde was unbelievable, but that is not everything.
Uncharted 2's online is one of the most underrated in my opinion, really fun, well balanced and the real key is that I am quite good at it. ND haven't revealed their plans for multiplayer, but they have said that they want to take on CoD, so they are clearly quite ambitious, and they have succeeded with pretty much everything they have tried this gen
But I think Gears will edge it in sales, but it matters not, I will be buying both and hopefully loving both!
