I think Gears will have far less impact this gen. Its latest installment did not fair well and I think franchise fatigue has set in. Is there possible future story development for the series? Will anyone care? I'm not sure if the fanbase will retain it as a must have, new IPs will distracting them.

I am actually surprise by this comment.. You really think that a next gen Gears of war running unreal engine 4 will not have a big impact ? wow..

I agree with Chark. This is the kind of feeling I get with this new gen - gamers are looking for new experiences and while I have no doubt that Gears will sell very very well (4M+ at least depending on the console base at the time) it wont be as huge a system seller as it was in the x360 era. Still I think it is a good move by MS to secure what has been one of its biggest exclusives. However, I wonder if xbox gamers who were excited by the idea of a new tripleA IP will be disappointed to learn it is a Gears sequel.
