what do you think will be a better and sell more consoles?... personally i think Gears 2 will be better IMO because i loved the first and i still play it, and no doubt 2nd will draw me into it. Dont get me wrong, i have played MGS series, but it doesnt interest me. What do think?

I knew you were biased towards Gears by the way it is at the top of the poll, your post confirmed it. Problem is MGS is nothing like gears, but fans of MGS would buy a PS3 just for it. Gears fans already own a 360 for the most part. I think you will find MGS is more popular.

Sell more consoles, you seriously think Gears will make people buy a console for it? No. 1 reason. It's a sequel on the same console. Therefore 99& of people playing the 2nd will have owned or thought about owning the first, and already own a 360. With MGS4, a lot of people have been waiting for it before getting a PS3, it's the first MGS on the PS3 so people would actually buy a system for it.

I bought my 360 for Gears 1.. I bought my PS3 for MGS4 so there is your answer!! MGS4 will sell consoles since many like you dont own a PS3 yet!!

Call me fanboy if you want, but MGS4 will probably sell more copies and systems.

There is a lot of hype around MGS4, its been 3 years since its been showed off. The ps3 will have around a 14 million user base by the time MGS4 comes out.

I see MGS4 selling around 6 million by years end.

MGS4- The final Chapter for a game that has been around 20 years. I myself am only 19. Mgs4 will be the most epic game to come out in a while. The gameplay has so many options toplay through

Gears of War 2 great but it is a sequel to a game that came out about two years ago

I agree that MGS4 will move some ps3's. However it wont be in competition with Gears 2. Why??? Its simple, Gears 2 doesn't come out until November. MGS4 comes out 5 months before. That's almost a half a year apart. By that time people will have already played MGS4 and will be ready for something new. Same as they did Halo 3 and Halo 3 had way more hype than MGS4.

That sounds right... Also you have to consider the time of year MGS is releasing, I thought it was odd for them to pick June and not Christmas.

Personally I've been a long time gamer and have a lot of respect for the Metal Gear franchise, I wouldn't miss this one for any other game right now.
