Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Pachter: Epic Regrets Signing Exclusive Gears Of War Contract With Microsoft

"No word on when the next Gears of War Will be released, but rest assured it’ll come exclusively to the Xbox 360".

Well it is just like saying Bungie are annoyed with Halo remaining an exclusive franchise to Microsoft consoles.

Take away another Microsoft exclusive franchise. We do not have that many exclusive franchises as it is.

11 to 12 million game sales for the first two Gears of War games on the XBox 360. Extremely good sales numbers for a HD console exclusive.

Microsoft loses gears and they just might lose me as a custumer unless they make new IPs i'd actually like to play. Heres hoping alan wake rocks.



Well, I regret reading what Pachter said.



I highly recommend the latest Major Nelson Podcast with Aron Greenberg talking about Pachter. They actually make fun of him.

I am still waiting for the Wii HD to come in 2009... That is what Pachter said. To be serious, every random guy on the internet probably made better predictions than he did.

For the Gears of War franchise, you need a big publisher with lots of money, know how and great partners. There are just a handful publishers in this industry that could do this. Microsoft, Sony, EA, Activision, Nintendo

Publishers like THQ, or whatever are not big enough.



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

Epic could come up a new IP just for PS3.

Its official since Patch works for epic.

Oh wait...

Amusing post.



Pachter is an Idiot. I think i remember him saying gears of war was going to go to PS3 at some point. Hes always more wrong than right



Long Live SHIO!

Pachter isn't even worth "fanboy hate" anymore, as he's just a MUCH better paid Hiphopgamer, imho.
