I agree with everything in your post except one thing there is no way in in hell Gears would sell the same amount on PS4. That's like Final Fantasy or Metal Gear selling the same amount on 360, as it's seen as more of a Xbox franchise.


Thats a bad comparison on your part.

FFXIII sold way less on 360 because it was still exclusive to PS3 in Japan, which is a huge territory for FF games. 


FF13-2 on the PS3 sold more than the 360 Version of the extremely overhyped FF13(cause everyone believed they get a FF7 with HD possibilities so everyone wanted it).And it had the drive of the strong numbers of the 360 in the USA...Everyone was like "OMG Sony is doomed...Microsoft stole their big Franchise!!!"
Yeah - 5-6 years later no one cares cause SquareENix sucks anyway...
And FF13-2(PS3) was already affected by the letdown FF13 was and still sold more than the 360 Version of FF13.
That is a good indicator.
Gears wouldn't sell as much on the PS4 of course but the gap wouldn't be as big.It could get a big boost in Europe and Japan and the PS4 will be the number 1 choice on the gaming market so the possibility is given that the PS4 is closer in numbers to the NextBox in the USA > More sales there too.

Heres a thought.........the franchise legs are done.

You guys are seeing Judgement preorders? The franchise has fatigue, and its best days are behind.

Based on that, it wouldn't be a meltdown worthy announcement, besides, this was 3rd party the whole time. That in itself is amazing we held onto it this long.

I think Gears Judgement is just doing so bad compared to the other games cause it isn't with the maincast of Fenix and Dom and made by a different developer.
Its a spinoff as much as it can be - A last money grab in this Gen with the Big Name the franchise has in the community combined with the only "Big Name Exclusive" on the 360 in 2013.Probably just to show the console isn't completely ignored by developers even if its just another game of a overused franchise.

And i really don't care anyway.Even if Gears comes to PC with completely outmaxed Unreal Engine 4.
I think the series is completely boring and just did so well cause it did hit the "Gore" taste of the community in that time.
