Gears are Bigger, but then Others are more of a Sony territory then MS so it will be closed. But i still think GeoW2 will outsell both titles.

@ chrizum: don't forget that Halo 3, a game that is infinitely larger than GoW, only sold 2.14 million copies in Europe.
GoW got 1.7, R 1.7, Motorstorm 1.6
If a massive game like Halo 3 didn't blow away from the competition (well, 400K copies more is impressive), then neither R nor GoW will either.
Europe's predisposition towards racers might aid Motorstorm slightly, but probably won't push it past either title.
I predict a rather close finish between all three titles in Europe.
US will see GoW's victory.

Major props for not reading my post!
REMEMBER THIS IS OTHERS NOT AMERICA! so it wont be gears of war 2. but in america, yes easily.
How can they compare smashing in someone's head with a sniper rifle and driving on a dirt track? I'd pick smashing heads in any day :p, but Other will probably lean towards Motostorm, but I think that perhaps the release of better racers may have dulled it down a little since it was the first racer for the system it did better than it otherwise would have.

props for being misinformed....
That was in USA....in EU RES & MS were bundled for not more than 1 or 2 months....

I think this is the best answer. Gears 2 will certainly beat Motorstorms opening week, but the legs will not be with the 360 game

| Chrizum said: What most people forget is that the majority of Resistance and Motorstorm sales in Europe come from bundles. For over half a year those games were bundled with every PS3 sold, just like Wii Sports with the Wii. Gears 2 will easily trounce both titles. |
"The majority?" So you're really implying that half or more of the sales for Resistance and Motorstorm were from bundles? You don't think that these games would have sold at least a million with bundles? Either you used the word "majority" incorrectly, or you're not an expert on sales. And from my knowledge, the big Motorstorm bundling was in the Americas with the 80 gig (or something along those lines). I don't remember since Sony has a habit of changing their SKUs so much.
It's tough to say between Motorstorm 2 and Resistance 2. R2 has a ton of hype and will be a big online game for the holiday season, but Motorstorm 2 has splitscreen, and Europeans do love their racers. I'm going to be a rebel and say that Resistance 2 will be the victor of the three games, with Motorstorm 2 holding up the rear.
