MS seems to think differently

With little marketing and it being a prequel, not sure why they would have expected it to perform like any other Gears.

"Gears Of War: Judgment sold more on one platform than Bulletstorm had on three, but with just over one million copies sold it still underperformed for Microsoft."

They clearly were expecting more, now SHOULD they have expected and WHY were they expecting more? those are questions that are up for debate but the only thing i can think of is they think the fanbase will just gobble up anything.

Expecting more is one thing. However, I can't imagine they thought it would mirror Gears 3, or they, themselves, don't know how these things work, which we can guess is highly unlikely.

maybe they did and if they did they dont know how these things work. or they think so little of their customers.

Gears 4/whatever it may be called, will sell a lot better on the XB1 as long as it gets enough development time and hype.

Bulletstorm numbers are always depressing though. That game was a lot of fun.



It's just that simple.

I'm confused as to what gears has to do with bulletstorm.

I really enjoyed Gears judgement, it added an interesting twist to the game and was just generally quite fun

I also enjoyed Bulletstorm, maybe I am just easy to please?


No I think you are just one of the guys who really played judgment ;) The rest just is parrotting what media said.

I can't say I enjoyed it as much as the previous games and I always loved Horde, but the campaign mode was interesting and questioned whether me on whether the lancer/longshot was still the perfect combo... It did good things in that it played differently from all the previous games, in an interesting way, not necessarily better, but interesting


I liked it too, more the MP then the campaign though. The new OverRun mode is just excellent. I do feel they made the Multiplayer more "open" to players and short and the skill spectrum.... gap... thing. Gears J didn't have much TV time either did it? 1 million sales is good for a game but a disappointment for the Gears franchise.

I don't think Epic dropped the ball here. It wasn't marketed like a mainline title and wasn't supposed to be treated like one. Though 1 million is substantially lower than the 2-2.5mill I once thought it would achieve, I think it's naive for anyone to have expected Gears 1-3 style figures.

Come Gears 4, the sales of this game will matter very little.

MS seems to think differently

OT I dont think the world wanted another Gears, IMHO 4 entries in a series in one gen on one console is a bit overkill, and it was a prequel.

Bulletstorm, dont know what the hell happened their imagine how much worst it would have dont WITHOUT the Gears 3 beta

While I'm not at all disagreeing with you, of the top 10 Xbox360 games sold ever 5 of them have the name call of duty in their title. as well as those there are 5 more CoD games on the machine. Some games can get away with it, Gears just wasn't one of those games, I think everyone had cried out enough manly tears in Gears2/3

COD is the exception, not the rule, but i agree. i dont know how COD does it. But few games can and Gears is not one of them. Never was even close.

COD does it because it's like Guitar Hero. When something in the US is the "it" thing, or the latest trend, it gets consumed regardless of quality. In the US, being a part of the latest trend and being cool is of the highest priority. COD was that "thing". But like all trends, it'll die and move on to something else.
