Gears of War 2 sales surpass 3 million copies

I know whatchoo mean. I'll buy a 360 somewhere down the line but by then I'll probably have forgotten about Gears and the next generation will be beckoning.

no. MS NEEDS this game to stay 360 exclusive, they just keep throwing away reasons to own a 360

I'm sure they decided not to release it (or to delay it) on PC to avoid piracy. It does suck though, especially for me because I hate the 360 controller. But oh well, at least I got to save money by renting instead of buying.

Again, MS need games like this (along with Halo and Fable) to stay exclusive, as your post clearly shows there's too many people who'd rather wait for PC ports rather than buy a 360.

And considering how poorly all of those games did when they were eventually ported, they'd have to be pretty stupid to do it for what little money they must make from them.

I'm not trying to be a fanboy and stop others from playing them.. Just saying it's in MS's best interests not to port them.

the game did not sell well on PC, thats why it is not on the PC.
not because of piracy.
5 million sold to 360 owners.
less than 1 million sold on PC.

Last generation I had my PC and multiple consoles. It became a burdensome waste of space. Exclusives are not going to get me to buy more unnecessary hardware again. I'm not saying I'm a huge PC fan, but I happen to use it for a lot of reasons every day, and so making it my primary gaming platform is simple practicality. If I could get away with a laptop for all my other PC functions, then I would likely be gaming on a console instead.

Fact is though, all fanboyism is misguided. The 360, PS3, or a PC with a mainstream GPU are all capable of running current titles in a relatively similar fashion. Exclusives and the like are business decisions that ultimately limit consumer choice, and hence hurt the gamer. You can get around this by buying multiple consoles (a solution I went for in my younger days), but ultimately that is getting you to buy things you have absolutely no need for, except for artificial limits set by the publishers.

I think most everyone heaved a sigh of relief when the Blu-Ray/HD-DVD "war" ended, but we still blithely accept the same insanity year after year in the game industry for no good reason.

No, I'm pretty sure that's a fact! :p

But as soon as I got the achievement for beating the game, I asked myself, "Was that it?" I couldn't believe it ended that suddenly.

Granted it is the second chapter in the trilogy, so a bit of a cliffhanger is expected. I just like it when the final boss puts up a good fight. :(

Hmm, wonder wheres the PS3 nut that said Resistance 2 would sell more than COD:WaW. I predicted it would bomb an nobosy outside the blogosphere would give a rats ass but noooooooo :P Those guys musta started their own blog or something. :O

whoa serpie, a little defensive are we?

yeah el serp is a joke.

reminds me of a cockroach i used to know at my old apartment. it lives a bugs life.

el serp wants to bug humans and be a pest.

when i am only giving my opinions about a product that has no brain or heart.

the funny thing is that he was saying i was dumb and stupid for making these comments. then when they come true he has nothing to say...

only to go crawl back into the dark place he came from. hows the bugs life el serp? haha...

it is truly funny when u make a comment like this now.

What I find funny is the 3 biggest xbot fanboys / PS3 flamers are talking to eachother in this one thread.


I just can't understand why you guys aren't happy for both to succeed.

LOL

whats the point of even to say such a thing? just sayign it to be an ass is all. no pats on the back for being a douce sk8monroe.

Wasn't you the one who complain when I call you out in a thread you dont post in? LOL

LOL! Way to nail the demographic.

When I played through it I ordered pizza too, I actually felt a weird nostalgia, I felt like "woah, what am I 19 again?"
