For prequels...

GoW is doing good.... Gears is doing bad.

Gears is a bigger franchise this generation than GoW... it had better opening and lifetime sales but seems like GoW prequel will sell more than Gears prequel.


god of war is doing bad and even got outsold by gears in japan

Every Sony fan said that God of War is doing better then Gears lol. Both games did well for them being prequels and at the end of a console lifecycle.


Sony titles tend to sell like a slow burn over time. This should be common knowledge.


thank to heavy bundle

Wait...this is opposed to Microsoft who gave away Fable 3 and Halo Reach for free for nearly two years to anyone who would buy a 360? Wait hold on a sec...the same Microsoft who gave 360's away to anyone who would buy a Windows 7 PC?

So what we got from all of this is that even the Mighty Kratos from developer Santa Monica can't beat a 3rd rate Gears wannabe spinoff characters from a 2nd rate developer in People Can Fly. Why are Sony fans celebrating about again?

Microsoft and Sony are different in their bundling how? Gotta love people putting their own little spin on things.

Back to the original point, I expect a bigger drop week-on-week for Judgement but not nearly as drastical as previous Gears games. I expect both titles to do 2.5-3 million lifetime.

I don't know how you can compare the prequels. One has the main character and the other has side characters. It is pretty much Gears version of Halo ODST.

I'm sure people buy Gears for Marcus.

April Fools!

Take Kratos out of GOWA and see how many people don't give a fuck.

I think the point was that you are trying to generalize Sony sales as having amazing legs when you clearly know there is heavey bundling invovled. Especially with Uncharted and GOW.

Now because you understand this you have gotten defensive and now have to bring up Fable 3 and Halo Reach for no reason really when it was you who started the discussion about Sony having a slow burn period with their games over a long period of time.

I think this thread should be locked. This shit is ridiculous. It's turning into an unnecessary shitstorm.
