Gears of War 3 may be the "most anticipated game of 2011" according to Ipsos, and Microsoft has promised that it'll be the "biggest entertainment event" in 2011, but the game's designer, Cliff Bleszinski, is a bit more cautious when it comes to sales expectations. After all, this fall/holiday is going to be extremely crowded with hot titles like Uncharted 3, Battlefield 3, Modern Warfare 3, Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim... to name just a few.

During a recent Game Rant interview, Gears of War creator CliffyB comments on Xbox-exclusive games possibly adopting multiplatform models.
Yea, I remember seeing him and his Lamborghini at one point in history. Lol, I think that kind of gives it away.
Bunch of clowns down voting without any explanation of how exactly he is getting money off Gears. You think Notch still gets Minecraft money too?
Sometimes I don't get what he says half the times. He could of put gears on the playstation from the start but he's fanboyness for xbox got in the way
I imagine this is exactly how fanboys feel how this went down. Microsoft paid for all the development and took all the risk off Epic games for a new IP.
It has nothing to do with anyone being a fanboy. Well other than yourself who oversimplified this entire franchises history.
I agree Notellin, however, once he was in bed with MS he did become pretty 'anti Sony' ans was such a shill for MS.
I thought it was said cliffs shopped it around hence rumors of a ps3 demo being out there. If ms took on all the cost, why is there a ps3 demo?
Not true at all.
Microsoft had to buy the ip because the contract ran out on keeping it exclusive.
Microsoft took no risk, they just marketed the game and payed for a contract.
Not hard to find out.
No, Epic signed a development and publishing contract with Xbox for Gears of War. After Judgement Microsoft still had the Gears of War publishing rights. Epic then sold the Gears of War IP to Microsoft in 2014. Cliffy B never owned Gears of War, he was just a lead designer of the series.
Ya I don't know what people are saying about CliffyB making money of Gears sales nowadays. He was never the owner and Epic no longer owns it either.
“He could of put gears on the playstation from the start but he's fanboyness for xbox got in the way”
It has nothing to do with fondness for the Xbox platform. Microsoft paid for exclusivity.
Well when you look at the sales perspective of ps5. It has a big audience selling over a 2 to 1 ratio. It makes money sense.
Fanboy era was at its prime during the ps3-360 generation. It’s not as toxic as it once was, thankfully. People grow out of it eventually. I have my preference just as the next person. That being said it’s coming to be more about expanding availability instead of standing behind a brand. Much more Microsoft than Sony. But Sony will probably move up its time of PC release for increase revenue.
We will see, it’s just speculation.
CliffyB is like David Jaffe at this point, always quick with the opinions but haven’t made a successful game in over a decade at this point. Do any of us really care what they think about anything? I certainly don’t.
For those who don't have time for massive open worlds or role-playing games with epic tales, these 15 games are worth checking out.
Hmmm.... Looks like I'll be picking up a copy of Gears of War 3 to go with my Brothers copy..... Maybe 2, or 3.
Just kidding, but that would be interesting if Gears 3 did hit 10 million. Especially since the growth from the first to the second was minuscule.
Even reaching sales of 6 million, (to match the previous 2 games), would be an accomplishment because of all the good games coming out in that short time period.
If that's a promise then let's make it happen, people! You can do it!
Throw in some quick scoping & baam 10 million!
Gears 1 had P.C. sales, Gears 2 did not. Gears 3 is looking much, much better and has more pre orders then Halo even gets. I can see it getting pretty damn close to 10 million. Would be sweet!
ok then guys
Don't buy the game,so that he doesn't die
fans,you'll be doing him a favor
