Rocketpig - can you consider GeoW2 a system seller? the first one was on the same system. The fan base of the game already have the system. Granted the first one was... but are people going to skip that and go straight for a sequel. (i wouldn't consider R2 a system seller either)

There doesn't seem to be a reason that a sequel from a game on the same system (doesn't entice people to upgrade from the old) would push many systems.

EDIT: damn i was slow.

I should have clarified my point: Gears will sell a few consoles but not as many as MGS4. In terms of pure sales numbers though, I think it will surpass anything put out by Sony this year.

I think Gears will move a few consoles, especially in NA if MS gets the Pro to a $279 or $299 price point and if Epic makes the game even bigger and better than the first, which it appears they will. In any case, Resistance 2 is a bad comparison point because it didn't sell anywhere near the numbers of Gears if you exclude the massive number of bundle sales it enjoyed.
