COD4 outsold SMG – In the UK and US at least. That’s just counting the 360 version of the game up against it.

With the 360 and PS3 versions together it utterly demolished it.

true they probably won’t but quality wise …ok quality wise they’re all going to be awesome but im leaning towards F3 and SFIV as my preference.
also i very much doubt gears2 will stand much of a chance as goty.
marketing hype aside though its all good for gamers

deanimate: I think it’s mostly that Fallout 3 and SFIV wont sell anything close to what Gears 2 does.

I can believe it. I think Microsoft cherish these trophy statements more than any other company and they tend to throw stupid amounts of marketing money to acquire them.

Gears in ’06, Halo in ’07, Gears 2 in ’08.

Microsoft manufactures these juggernauts quite deliberately. These titles don’t get their high profile and status all on their own, Microsoft assures it with marketing spend. They were always going to be positioned this way – even if they were games not worthy of the high profile Microsoft bought for them.

You go with what can boost sales. It’s the power of the message. Say a lie many times and eventually becomes the truth.

Can’t they just appreciate games rather than having this ridiculous “mine’s better than yours” attitude? I do get tired of these console bosses coming out with bollocks like this.
