Gears J should sell pretty well really,looks like good fun

Regardless if the other article only shown the UK chart, the substance of that article still stated a "quarter". My point to DirtyP2002 still stands, much like the thread of your GoWA selling half in the UK. But thanks for the attention to detail..

A 30%+ increase in WiiU sales would be very significant. Especially if that carried throughout Europe and in North America. 50%+ would be more than I would have expected.

Is it series fatigue, or is it just because they're prequels?

Because it is a spin-off not made by Epic Games, not heavily marketed by Microsoft and did not release during the holiday season.
So anyone who expected Gears of War 3 like numbers was nuts.

And sill it outsold one of Sonys biggest franchises 3:1.

Gears 3 outsold GoW3 in a 4:1 or 5:1 ration in UK... I'm sure it is ok for this game outsell the Sony biggest franchise over 3:1.

In the UK..

Again Gears 3 released in the holiday season, God of War 3 did not. Therefore the ratio was higher.
Again Gears J was not developed by its main studio. God of War: A was developed by its main studio.

Yes, we are talking about the UK here.
It is funny that you point that out, since you was the one saying "But thanks for the attention to detail.." when you said PAL instead of UK.

And?

Fact "Gears sell a lot more than GoW in UK"

Your comparision is useless.
