no halo 3 sold around 8 million right. Gears is a more gory game, which truns parents off to buying it for thier kids, and turns older gamers off too. Its not the universal game halo is.
The Gears of War fanbase is not as big as the Halo fanbase.
But I think it has the potential becuase for one there will be more 360's, but also theres really no other major hit rated M game coming this fall for the 360.
No, no where near the coverage Halo 3 had and not as much attention for the general media. Halo 3 had coverage at almost every 11 o'clock news at launch day, I don't see that happening for Gears. Though I may be wrong.
Gears of War doesn't have the wide appeal or the 5 year head start on making fans that Halo has so.....Probably not. Also I don't think Microsoft will market it to death like they did with Halo.
it wont come close to the number that Halo 3 put up. just imagine all the little Halo fanboys and then see if you think there are even half the ammount of Gears fans. it wont be the same this time around but maybe Gears 3
Gears doesn't have the mass appeal that Halo 3 did. Halo 3 was covered on mass media outlets when it was coming out. I am not sure Gears 2 will even come that close.
As much as I love Gears, and that is a lot, I really can't see Gears 2 outselling Halo 3. Not a chance. The amount of money that was spent on advertising Halo 3 is mind blowing (I would imagine), and won't be outdone. And then there's the fact that Halo 3 appeals to all gamers, from casual to hardcore, whereas Gears isn't a game for the fainthearted.
Sequels always gross more than the original, but GOW2 would have to almost double its predecessor's sales to beat Halo 3, and it's just not very likely.
