A quick look at the most wanted lists of the past 6months will tell you everything you need to know.

Zelda bundle #2... Gears3 #5.


umm...this proves my point even more...? The most wanted list is another way of say most anticipated...people here are more interested in Zelda than Gears...or anything else for that matter.

not to mention that Amazon is not a good metric to go by anyway. Its not like they are the only retailers out there. Best Buy, Toys R Us, hell Target. Why not look at actual VGchartz numbers which would cover MULTIPLE retailers, but i guess that would just shoot holes in their theory. Funny how some people swear by this site's numbers, but if it makes them look wrong, they act like they dont exist

I wasn't looking at sales.... or preorders... the wishlist is a little different and more like VGCs most anticipated game which has had Zelda as #1  as well.

I would never quote Amazon for sales... that's just silly.

Why would you look a wishlist and not preorders when it comes to anticipation??  IMHO, money talks, BS walks. Showing numbers of people who have ACTUALLY already put down money to get a game is a better judge of which game is garnering more excitement

Because if I'm anticipated about a game ... it doesn't mean I have money pouring out of my ears. That's why there are wishlists.... for things I want to buy but don't have the $50 to $70 to do so yet.


true, but all you need is 5 bucks to put down a preorder for a game, you dont have to have money pouring out of your ears. Unless you think 360 owners have more money, IMHO there are more people that want GOW3 at this time than Zelda

$0 for amazon, but you still have to have the money when the game launches.

0 for Amazon?! i didnt know that?? F****ing hell, (goes and preorders Zelda), now that that is out of the way. Wish i could have a break down of how much of those preorders go to what retailer but oh well

I'm amazed this is even a contest...

Zelda.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Being a long time Nintendo fan, I'm not too proud of that fact that I prefer Gears 3. But I do think in terms of the better single player experience, Zelda will be the superior game.

Gears of War 3 isn't even a contender for Game of The Year.
Skyward Sword,Batman,Uncharted,Skyrim,Dark Soul's easily beats Gears.
So now do you know which one is more anticipated?
