Are you kidding right now? Do you seriously not get this? A game doesn't have to play like Gears to be this gens Gears. It's about the effect it has on the Generation, it's about being the first game that really shows people that nextgen is here, just like Gears was for the 7th Generation (and no DR didn't even have close to the same effect as Gears did).

Dead RIsing just didn't sell as much as Gears but ass far as showing off what the 360 is capable of it actually did more then Gears again it was the first console game where you actually had to play it on a HD TV to truely enjoy it or play it period since it was almost impossible to read the text on a SD TV.  The first Gears didn't really do anything groundbreaking.

That is the thing though, it sold way more and thus reached way more people and had a huge effect on 7th gen. After 10 weeks it had sold over 3mil copies on a 8mil userbase, it was the game to own on the 360 back then, it made cover based TPSs popular and we all know how many of those we got in the 7th gen. The Dead Rising franchise was completely irrelevant compared to Gears and almost entirely forgotten until a couple months back.
