Gears of war is not as big of a game as it used to be, in fact Gears of war judgement basically bombed. Microsoft is not winning NA just because they have Gears.

That wasnt made by Epic, that was a side project made by People Can Fly. There was no buzz for it either. Gears is still big. God of War sold like crap because it was rushed and it came out at the end of the gen. They both were in the same boat. Not enough marketing.

I remeber seeing commercials for both games so its not like both of these games got no marketing, I also remember both having a lot of buzz for there prorder bonus( If you preordered Gears you would get gears 3 for free and if you preordered God of war there was an extended last of us gameplay trial.) Both games got there fair share of marketing so marketing wasnt the problem, the problem is the lack of quality of both games and franchise fatigue. Anyone who played the series knows Gears and God of war ended at 3 and moved on.
