Gears 2 will sell better. Don't downplay the multiplayer draw on Gears either. If they make some more improvements over the original multiplayer, it should do just as well or better in that regard. Resistance will sell well also, but the 360 has a larger installed base in the largest market for FPS games.
As to which game will be better. They both look like they will shape up to be decent games. Resistance 1 was not all it was made out to be. It was a decent shooter but it was the best shooter out on the PS3 so it got a lot of press. Personally, it felt like Call of Duty 2 with the Germans swapped out with gun toting monsters. I've played a large number of FPS games and Resistance ranks in the middle of the pack. The first Gears was a well put together game that offered some new gameplay elements. Overall, Gears was a much better game than Resistance. That doesn't make Resistance bad, it just wasn't anything special or new. If the single player part of Resistance 2 is anything like the first game, then I expect the same. It will be decent but nothing special.
As far as multiplayer goes, it looks like Resistance 2 might have something interesting. I'd like to see the coop and regular multiplayer in action.
Thank god for the disable signatures option.
