Hmm, they are two very different games despite a few similarities. MGS 4 will probably revolve around stealthy and more slowly paced gameplay and a less direct approach to things, whereas Gears 2 is sure to be very hands on and in your face (in a good way).
In my mind there's no conclusion to be drawn here, the two games have very different objectives, its like Need for Speed and Gran Turismo who also share core elements but are built and managed very differently.
Gears of War 2 will be, well, epic. MGS 4 perhaps even more so in my mind, but they're bound to appeal to relatively different audiences which will hold one preference before the other in this context.
I'd buy both games on launch, but I don't think everyone else would.
