Nope, not seeing the 360 now has like 2-3 times the install base it had then.

Has more to do with pre orders for a new ip vs pre orders for a well established franchise.

Exactly.

I really don't expect this game to be the system seller MS wants it to be.

It's not....

it was a system seller for me ... and almost 90% of the people i know and i know alot of gamers. some of those people the ONLY game they have since the release of the first gears is gears and they STILL play the online part.

i actually bought my copy before buying the console it self.

this game is much much much better game than Halo will ever be.

really? you think lbp has more pre-orders?

ok then.

Hey maybe one day we'll see the cell in action.

thank god for a specialist cpu and a gpu built specifically to complement that.

I do realise the cell is specialist but thats for multimedia.

edit:

just have to tell everyone that i read the comment below as i was drinking and laughed so hard a bit went up my nose.

Hey the cell might be that powerful (it's not just sony hype) shame you have a crap gpu that won't be able to keep up when the cell starts to get used.

While I believe every game is an aquires taste... To me Gears 1 was an OK game! I don't think it was great in any way, but it was entertaining. I have noticed people on my friends list who have never really stopped playing it, and some are playing it now to get ready for the new one.

People like what they like and I respect that! But I still like CoD 4, and alot of people have moved on to other multiplayer games. Maybe I just didn't play it for 3-6 hours a day like some and got bored with it quickly, but to me it is still entertaining. Or it could just be that people are all attracted to different things.

Anyway... Keep a lookout for 007:Quantum of Solice, for some reason I think this game will be great! I am glad that it is not getting alot of hype, because it can catch gamers off guard. It seems like it could be as much fun as Goldeneye, and have some of the modern tweaks in gameplay like Rainbow six: Vegas, with the graphical speed of CoD 4!

If my comment sounds stupid, you should look into it! I had almost 0% interest in this game until I started looking into it.

Oh yeah... look into FarCry 2 as well!

(Back on topic) More than likely I will be picking up Gears as well, because it did offer a different experience than alot of shooters did. And to be honest... cutting somebody in half in multiplayer and hearing them b***h about it after the match, never got old!

I hate to admit it but you might be right!

The videos I saw made Killzone 2 look like Killzone 1, but with dramatically better graphics and sound, but overall looked like the same Killzone gameplay with a few tweaks!

I hope I am wrong, and that the developers have fixed alot of the problems that plagued the first games gameplay. But if they haven't... Killzone 2 might become the next LAIR.... I don't think it will do that bad, but you get what I am saying right?

Unlike alot of the Ps3 fanboys out there... I owned Killzone 1, so I am speaking from experience, and not just looking at next gen graphics and running with them!

1) what does killswitch have to do with anything??
2) every shooter is getting killzoned... like every xbox 1 shooter got killzoned by the original killzone? oh wait... i just don't see why everyone is so sure killzone is going to be a huge hit... it's the sequel to a huge disappointment, so don't get too excited yet.
3) so your name is dylan talented? what does that even mean? and is that really an eagle talon with lambourghini doors?? really??

killzone sucks,the first one sucked and failed. so much for a halo killer. garbage like that is not even deserved to be compared to legendary games like this.

Gears of War 2 will be game of the year. I would gladly put the game up against any game that has come out. MGS4 isn't even gonna come close to GeoW2. Also you can't just throw in a PS3 game in a Xbox 360 conversation. When hardly anybody owns both systems. So PS3 fanboys need to stick to their side of the website. Gears of War 2 ROCKS.
