Gears dones't have this type of brandname. It only appeals (for now) the hardcore gamers and the Xbox360 fans. GoW = 4M GT/GTA = I bet close to 50M |
We're talking about the same thing and I agree with you entirely. But I think Gears appeals to more than just the hardcore... It's hard to move 4.5m units on the backs of core gamers alone.
It definitely doesn't have the broad-based appeal of GT games, though. My point was that without GT5, Sony would be facing an uphill battle against Gears. They don't have anything else this holiday season that carries the brandname of Gears.
