With the MS announcement today of buying the Gears of War IP from Epic, did they just seal with deal in NA this gen?
With a line up of Titanfall, Halo, Fable set to return and now a new Gears, I don’t think Sony can compete with this line up in North America. Sure, Sony will take Europe and Japan but NA is the largest market and they need to keep up in market share.
Uncharted is only one game and doesn’t sell the numbers Gears does on day 1. What else do you think Sony can do to combat this move by MS today?
With all the positive reinforcement and gloating Sony fans have done over the last 6 or 7 months, all MS has to do is stick out their wallet and crush any hopes Sony fans have to reclaim the NA market.
Whether you like Gears of War or not, you can’t argue that it doesn’t sell consoles. This gen your going to see more CoD limited edition consoles, same with Gears and Halo and the US market will eat it up. Even though it’s only early, I don’t think Sony has a chance in the US anymore.
Thoughts?
