I think grears 2 will sell less then gears 1. Bets anyone? Gears 2 will actually have competition including MGS4, Resistance 2, GTA4, Killzone 2, etc.

Gears 1 went up against what? Lair on 5 PS3's?


And Infamous looks so much cooler the Gears it's insane. Also gears is bland which I was only able to discover after purchasing it myself. Will not get gears 2, I will rent. no doubt it will be nice and short like it's daddy.

 

 Yes bets on, gears 2 will sell much more than gears 1, yes gears 2 will have competition but your forgeting gears 1 did too, it launched the same month the Wii and PS3 launched. So competition is not a legit argument!

Because Geow Had pracically no competitors in terms of graphics by the release time...))

Now, GeoW 2 will have to stand against Resistance 2.

Of`course, x360 has a strong FPS/3rdPS userbase, but this time geow2 has nothign to offer, only fans will buy it.
The question is, how many there fans?=))

 

Wow that was both barely coherent and completely irrelevant. Kudos on the content.

 

We almost got rid of the bashers but since the FF13 megaton landed they are all back here trying to reaffirm themselves in their choices. Sometimes the MS forum feels like it's group therapy for these guys.

Yea because no Xbox fan trolls the Sony forum, ur full of it. OT: GeOW2 will sell gangbusters but it won't do 8 mil in 6 months. IDK if u noticed but alot GeOW's sales came from long legs. It's funny how xbots always say that so and so game in said franchise will sell less because sequels always sell less than the previous one, but for GeOW which sold 5.3 mil, they expecting 3 mil more, and to do it in MUCH less time.

Yes but the point is people should buy GoW 1 before buying the 2nd?



How many cups of darkness have I drank over the years? Even I don't know...

I highly doubt any franchise on a MS console will be more important than Halo. Halo is the franchise that defined and pushed the Xbox brand. GoW 2 will in all liklihood be the must-have game of the late-fall and early-winter, but it will not sell more than Halo 3.

"The Xbox360 will outsell the PS3 Q3/Q4 worldwide this year. " Lmao U wish.

The 360 couldn't even outsell the PS2 last year and the PS3 has outsold the 360 for 8 months in a row now.

You're so Lame You probably think this post is about you...

Anyway since my signature isn't the topic of discussion, you're being a fool.

Btw, since the Xbox360 outsold the PS3 last year by a tiny margin it means that if the PS2 outsold the Xbox360 then it also outsold its successor, the PS3. WOW, good job.

 



Tease.

People are probably browsing the posts on the main page, not trolling your precious turf.  Megaton?  Oh, yeah...that.  Except it's not a megaton for us; we still get to play the shit.  Wanna bet which version will be better?

MGS4 was revolutionary IMO. Gears was meh and was bought because it was 360s first big IP and was hyped to the heavens. I believe Gears2 will sell less than Gears
